Description Jonathan Gossage CLA 2003-11-28 03:17:09 EST 
This occurs in M5 under Sun JDK 1.4.2 when checking for missing Javadoc tags 
is enabled.

If I implement the cloneable interface in a class and generate Javadoc for the 
clone method, I get the tag @see java.lang.Object#clone() generated in the 
Javadoc.

This causes a warning to be generated saying Javadoc: The method clone() from 
the type Object is not visible. I suspect that the reason is that 
java.lang.Object#clone is a protected method.

My position is that generating Javadoc should never generate warnings.
