Description roridge 2007-11-28 11:05:57 UTC 
When generating Javadoc for a method using /** + ENTER.

As well as the Params and Return etc, it would be cool if it could detect if the method that is implemented is
Overridden or Implemented, and add {@inheritDoc} for you.

So the JDoc stubb would be:

/**
*
* {@inheritDoc}
* @param name 
* @return 
*/

what do you think?
Comment 1 Jan Pokorsky 2007-11-29 14:26:58 UTC 
It would have to generate

/**
 *
 * {@inheritDoc}
 * @param name {@inheritDoc}
 * @return {@inheritDoc}
 */

in your case in order to make sense. Or better 

/**
 *
 * @param name {@inheritDoc}
 * @return {@inheritDoc}
 */

since the main description and missing block tags are copied by default
(http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/solaris/javadoc.html#inheritingcomments).

It should not be much work since the checking of inherit comments was already implemented for javadoc editor hints.
Thanks for tip.
