Answer 1

Grabbing the annotation using self-reflection seems more straightforward to me:

import java.lang.annotation.Annotation;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;

@When("^User enters username and password$")
public void userEntersUsernameAndPassword() throws Throwable{
    Method callingMethod = new Object() {} .getClass() .getEnclosingMethod();
    Annotation  myAnnotation = callingMethod.getAnnotations()[0];   
    System.out.println("myAnnotation=" + myAnnotation);

Results in:

myAnnotation=@cucumber.api.java.en.Given(timeout=0, value=^User is in portal page$)
