Should our Javadoc classes extend abstract classes?

Suppose I'm writing a class "mywork" that extends the abstract class "work" Now, suppose that all the methods I need in "mywork" have been declared and their Javadoc has been written in "work" Should I also add Javadoc in "mywork"?

Cheers!

Solution

It depends on If you do not override any methods, you cannot add Javadoc (class level only) It makes sense to add some JavaDocs to the class to explain why they exist

If you want to override methods, you can write Javadoc like this:

/**
 * {@inheritDoc}
 * This implementation also does...
 */
