[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1252?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-1252.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Even Josh Bloch agrees that @Override is redundant when implementing abstract or interface methods.
> @Override annotation on implementing methods
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-1252
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1252
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Folke Behrens
>
> The current [CodeStyle|http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CodeStyle] states that one should "avoid redundant @Override annotations when implementing abstract or interface methods." A rationale is not given.
> The @Override annotation is not redundant. When putting it on implementing methods it helps detecting abstract methods of super-classes or interfaces that were removed. This is especially important when extending abstract classes or implementing interfaces from external libraries.
> Please tag every overriding method with @Override and make compiler warnings errors.
