FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The feature "automatic copying of method comments" is broken with 1.5.0 Beta 2. I wrote a minimal testfile with overrides "equals" of java.lang.Object and put the directory with the source of the JDK in the path of -sourcepath. This works with 1.4.2, but with 1.5.2 the feature is broken. Here the output of javadoc:

======================================================================
Hi,

attached in bug-5079630.zip is my test environment; two command files for
creating the javadoc with 1.4.2 & 1.5.0;

the resulting html files are in javadoc140 & javadoc150;

the difference is obvious in the one method "equals" in the class "Main".

in the -verbose output the difference is obvious too

Klaus

------------------------- Main.java --------------------------
package pkg;

class Main {

  boolean equals (Object o){
  }

}
