This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
If a class is declared as "class ClassName extends AbstractClass" or "class ClassName implements Interface", NetBeans provides the feature to automatically add the methods that must be implemented to the class. This should also copy the javadoc comments for these methods, at least as an option. I almost always clarify behavior of methods in the implementing class, and copying javadoc comments takes time, especially when the method signatures are automatically added.
At a minimum the "Add all Parent Abstract Methods" and "Add all Interface Methods" functions should be including "/** {@inheritDoc} */" comments as well as, where appropriate, @Override annotations.
This should be connected with Implement all abstract methods hint
This should be available as an option if it is really necessary since javadoc is copied automatically by the javadoc tool. See http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/solaris/javadoc.html#inheritingcomments. Subclasses should add javadoc or its part just in case they change the behavior which is not best practice usually.
