AW: [riena-dev] Suggestion: avoid "@see xyz"-only comments

> If only Eclipse would support the {@inheritDoc} tag properly, the follwing style would probably give us the best of both worlds:

BTW {@inheritDoc} has just been fixed in Eclipse 3.5 M1. See here:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.5M1-200808071402/3.5M1/eclipse-news-M1.html#JDT


Personally, I prefer the 'no comment' style for methods that just implement from the interface because it needs less lines.

> public void updateFromModel() {

The original text from the parent/interface will be inherited anyway. And when editing (in Eclipse) there is a up-arrow on the left of the method name, indicating it is implementing/overriding another method.
 
However I am ok with _any_ comment style that does not interfere the Eclipse "javadoc hover tooltip". That is my mean reason for not liking the /** @see */ style.

Kind regards,
Elias.
