How can a method's Javadoc be copied into other method's Javadoc?
I know that there is @inheritDoc , but it's only for methods which override others. I have several classes with many delegate methods (which do not override others). Can their Javadoc be "inherited" (more exactly: copied)? /** here I need the copy of wrappedMethod's Javadoc */ public void delegateMethod(Object param){ innerSomething.wrappedMethod(param); } A @link or @see tag would be appropriate here. If you're wrapping the method, it must provide distinctive behavior which makes it unsuitable for overloading or otherwise. Sometimes it's actually a good thing to cut and paste documentation.
