Nota bene: For the Inheritance to work correctly with annotations export format, you need to prefix the namespace with a backslash. Otherwise the generated class definition will read

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Entity;
class Child extends Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Parent
{

This will cause the Parent class to be invalid (FQCN \Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Parent). With an extra backslash in the front, the namespace definition is left intact while the extends statement is corrected.
