By default javadoc is generated for a method if it overrides a method defined in its supertype.

When a method is overridden with no change in semantic behavior, javadoc currently lists it in the primary method summary just with @inheritdoc. It is not that useful. When many methods are overridden, including inherited docs for these methods in the primary method summary is just noise. Keeping them in "Methods inherited from ..." section would be adequate.

Perhaps javadoc should not bother listing overridden methods that do not have any comment provided to document any change of semantic behavior.
