When writing interfaces it is required that the
implementing classes declare the methods from the
interface as 'public'.
When generating the documentation the methods of
the implementing classes appear as well. This is
something I don't want since I already documented
the interface documentation already to describe
the methods. As JavaDoc acts now the package
documentation becomes rather messy.
I would be nice if JavaDoc could exclude parts
of the source. e.g:

/* @javadoc off */

<excluded java source>

/* @javadoc on  */

Handling of methods for interfaces is actually a separate issue, created 
bug #4095293 for this.

A way to hide methods from javadoc would be useful as well.  Though it should
not be modal like that proposed but rather '@hide' on those entries that should
be hidden.

Am closing what's remaining of this as a dupe of 4058216, which also
recommends the @hide tag.

This is a vary important feature!  I now have a huge last-minute mess on my
hands because there is no way to exclude uncommented APIs
