Description
A new option `--overridden-methods=`_value_,  has been added to the javadoc tool. Many classes override inherited methods without changing the specification. The `--overridden-methods=`_value_ option can be used to group these methods with other inherited methods, instead of documenting them in detail with the other methods declared in the class.  For more details, see the [javadoc](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/tools/javadoc.htm#JSWOR-GUID-9D532574-1CDB-4D30-99F3-A308DCAEE55F) section in the Tools Reference document.
