[ BUILD # : 200711261600 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_03 ] I get no JavaDoc hint for an overridden method. At least the same JavaDoc hint ("create missing") as usual should appear. Ideally, a 2nd hint "copy from super method" should be available.
The javadoc hints are provided by the javadoc module. Not sure if having such hint is important, as the javadoc tool will automatically copy the javadoc from the base method.
As designed. In case the overridden method contains complete javadoc there is no need for a hint. You can still write /**+<Enter> to generate the skeleton.
1. Having no hint there and having to type /** is at least inconsistent to normal behavior. 2. Changing to enhancement for the "Copy from super method" hint. I don't know why, but when I override a method with "insert code", it does not copy the JavaDoc from the super method.
ad 1) I do not think it is inconsistent. /**+<Enter> is normal behavior. Nevertheless I found a similar request (issue #96287) so if you agree I would make this a duplicate. ad 2) regarding "insert code" I am not sure if the option to copy javadoc has been already implemented. I remember such a request in java/editor. This has no connection to the javadoc module.
