[platform-ui-dev] Purpose of @inheritDoc

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I sometimes see

 

/**

* {@inheritDoc}

*/

in our platform.ui and platform.runtime code basis. 

What is the purpose of this? Was this a way to substitute for missing @Override annotations in plug-ins with a BREE less than Java 1.5?

Best regards, Lars
