A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JDK1.4.1 beta 1 attempts to fix the @inheritDoc regression
in 1.4.0 but is not yet functional. The code samples show
a method defined in an interface, an abstract class that
implements the interface, and a concrete class that extends
the abstract class.
Javadoc complains "warning - @inheritDoc used by bar
(double) does not override or implement any method".
According to my understanding of the rules, Javadoc should
find the original method declaration in the interface
implemented in the abstract class. If the concrete class
also explicitly implements the interface, the problem goes
away...but it should not be necessary to declare that
implementation.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Run 1.4.1-B1 Javadoc on the provided source.
2.
3.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
------ extracted from Javadoc html output ------
bar
public void bar(double param1)This is the Javadoc for X2.bar
().
This is the second paragraph..
This implementation over-rides X2.bar().
Specified by:
bar in interface X2
Parameters:
param1 - A double.
------------
The above is produced if ConcreteX1X2 explicitly implements
X1 and X2.
If ConcreteX1X2 does not implement the interfaces, Javadoc
produces the warning shown previously, and hangs at 100%
busy. I am using Ant to drive the process; have not tried
Javadoc directly from the command line to see if this makes
a different on hanging the process.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
