When writing interfaces it is required that the
implementing classes declare the methods from the
interface as 'public'.
When generating the documentation the methods of
the implementing classes appear as well. This is
something I don't want since I already documented
the interface documentation already to describe
the methods. As JavaDoc acts now the package
documentation becomes rather messy.
I would be nice if JavaDoc could exclude parts
of the source. e.g:

/* @javadoc off */

<excluded java source>

/* @javadoc on  */

EVALUATION Handling of methods for interfaces is actually a separate issue, created bug #4095293 for this. A way to hide methods from javadoc would be useful as well. Though it should not be modal like that proposed but rather '@hide' on those entries that should be hidden. robert.field@Eng 1997-11-25 Am closing what's remaining of this as a dupe of 4058216, which also recommends the @hide tag. doug.kramer@Eng 1998-04-13
