Description Sam Green CLA 2021-04-12 05:44:08 EDT
when a method is annotated with @override the javadoc doesn't show 
Specified by unless a javadoc is added to the method like so:

//undocumented overriding method that dosn't show the Specified by in the javadoc:
/**
*
*/
@Override
public void myMethod()
{
			
}

//documented method that shows the Specified by clause
/**
* My documentation
*/
@Override
public void myMethod()
{
			
}

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
