Inheritance problem

[beikov]

JavaDoc uses the documentation of the next super class/interface where a doc is available if no documentation is made for an implemented or overridden method, but does not do that!

this would be a very helpful feature. the javadoc spec is for example here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html#inheritingcomments
