Description Henning Boeger CLA 2004-02-02 11:44:12 EST 
Settings:
- Compiler option "Missing Javadoc comments" is set to warning
- "Check overriding methods" is disabled.

Overridden constructors with missing javadoc are still shown with a warning, 
but they shouldn't.

Comment 1 Frederic Fusier CLA 2004-02-05 05:33:23 EST 
In Java constructors are not methods and never can be considered as overridden.
Yu can see that is in Outline view: overridden methods are marked with ^ icon 
on left, but constructor haven't it.
So, 'Check overriding methods' does not apply to constructors.
