      Given the following code
      ----
                          public class ChildClass extends UndefinedClass
                              implements UndefinedInterface, Iterable {

                          }
      ---
      when the javadoc is generated with --ignore-source-errors
      then the generated javadoc contains 'ChildClass extends UndefinedClass implements Iterable' but there is no mention of UndefinedInterface.

      This may be a correct behaviour as there is no way to tell which methods implement UndefinedInterface or we may want to generate 'implements UndefinedInterface'
