if the documentation of an overloading method inherits the overloaded method's doc by starting with {@inheritDoc} then all the inherited text is treated as the first sentence (and the first sentence of the following text, unless one adds an extraneous (and visible) . of <p/> after {@inheritDoc}.

As a result, all the said text ends-up in the summary of the documentation of the overloading method.

This means that the entire doc of the overloaded method plus some shows in the summary.
