------------------------------------------
> "@Override" should be used on overriding and implementing methods
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ROL-2159
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-2159
> Project: Apache Roller
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 6.0.0
> Reporter: Saurabh Dixit
> Assignee: Saurabh Dixit
> Priority: Major
>
> Using the {{@Override}} annotation is useful for two reasons :
> * It elicits a warning from the compiler if the annotated method doesn't
> actually override anything, as in the case of a misspelling.
> * It improves the readability of the source code by making it obvious that
> methods are overridden.
> h2. Noncompliant Code Example
> {code:java}
> class ParentClass {
> public boolean doSomething(){...}
> }
> class FirstChildClass extends ParentClass {
> public boolean doSomething(){...} // Noncompliant
> }{code}
> h2. Compliant Solution
> {code:java}
> class ParentClass {
> public boolean doSomething(){...}
> }
> class FirstChildClass extends ParentClass {
> @Override
> public boolean doSomething(){...} // Compliant
> }{code}
> h2. Exceptions
> This rule is relaxed when overriding a method from the {{Object}} class like
> {{toString()}}, {{hashCode()}}, ...
