Synopsis stddoclet: Add {@super} tag for copying the doc comment from a superclass
Category doclet:tbd
Reported Against 1.2 , 1.3
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 4186639, request for enhancement
Priority: 4-Low
Related Bugs 4186639 , 4372211
Submit Date 20-OCT-1999
Description
Add {@super} tag that copies the doc comment from a superclass
into the current doc comment.  This allows developers to 
write around the copied text rather than have that be the 
only text.  

Currently, text is copied only if the comment is empty.  
(I explained this is the current behavior before asking 
them to vote for this tag, to ensure they were voting for 
the tag, not simply the inheritance feature.)
Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
This is a fine idea and simple.  It should be an inline tag {@super}.

Picked up comment from RFE 4372211 for option to *never* copy superclass
documentation, so only subclass docs appear.

This is a dupe of 4186639, for {@inheritDoc}.  Closing this out.
