Description Erno Mononen 2007-01-26 13:15:57 UTC 
If you have a method in a class that overrides a method from its super class / 
interface and that has no javadoc of its own, no javadoc is shown for it in the 
javadoc popup. In this case, IMO, it would make sense to show the javadoc from 
the method it overrides so that you don't need to navigate to the overridden 
method to view the javadoc. There could be something like 'description copied 
from interface: ...' in the popup.
