Description

Name: nt126004			Date: 09/06/2002


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Sometimes one wants to imherit documentation in
constructors, especially for Exceptions (they can be many in
the system and they often have several constructors).

Could we have a tag similar to inheritDoc (or could we make
inheritDoc work with constructors (even if the name is not
adapted).

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Tag @inheritDoc cannot be used in constructor documentation.  It can only be
used in the following types of documentation: inline text.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
