Inherit model properties from super classes #13
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you look to the last section: I wish that B had the id field as well. Currently, this doesn't seem to be the case. It can lead to reduction of boilerplate code and better maintainability.
I can imagine scenarios where you don't want to inherit these properties. In this case one could add an Annotation on the inheriting class like: @DoNotInheritModelProperties
Describe the solution you'd like

Because of the way inheritance works in java (fields aren't actually inherited to the child class, they only exist on the parent class) this would probably break the current implementation. I thought of this before because you sometimes have quite similar models and might want to inherit fields from a base class. This is something we should consider when rebuilding/decoupling the query builder.
