javadoc from JDK1.2b4j doesn't display a summary sentence for methods which
inherit their javadoc comments. The inherited comments do appear in the
Method Detail section with "Desription copied from interface", but no
description appears in the Method Summary section.

Here's a quick sample which demonstrates the missing copied description in
Method Summary. It's also interesting to note that since I didn't provide a
public constructor for the class, I got the default constructor SampleClass()
which has no comment. Might be useful to put something like "Implicit default
constructor".

/**
 * Sample class
 */
public class SampleClass implements SampleClass.SampleInterface
{
    /**
     * Sample interface
     */
    public interface SampleInterface
    {
        /** Sample method from Sample Interface */
        public void sampleMethod();
    }
    // inherit comment from interface
    public void sampleMethod(){}
}

The output looks like this:

-------------------------------------
| Method Summary |
-------------------------------------
| void | sampleMethod() |
| | | <-- NOTE FIRST SENTENCE IS MISSING
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
| Method Detail |

sampleMethod

public void sampleMethod()
   Description from interface:
   Sample method from Sample Interface <-- NOTE FIRST SENTENCE IS HERE
   Specified by:
       <a>sampleMethod</a> in inteface <a>SampleClass.SampleInterface</a>
