Description Jan Pokorsky 2004-12-02 16:33:17 UTC 
Overide&implement editor annotations ignore
methods with covariant return types.
Comment 1 Martin Matula 2005-01-10 16:59:31 UTC 
Could you provide a concrete example (steps to reproduce)?
Comment 2 Jan Pokorsky 2005-01-10 17:28:23 UTC 
class A {}
class B extends A {}

abstract class Sup {
  A someMethod();
}

class Sub extends Sup {
  B someMethod();
}

Sub.someMethod() should be annotated as 'Implements'.
Comment 3 Martin Matula 2005-01-13 12:31:33 UTC
