> Using the {{@Override}} annotation is useful for two reasons :
>  * It elicits a warning from the compiler if the annotated method doesn't actually override anything, as in the case of a misspelling.
>  * It improves the readability of the source code by making it obvious that methods are overridden.
> h2. Noncompliant Code Example
> {code:java}
> class ParentClass { 
>     public boolean doSomething(){...}
> } 
> class FirstChildClass extends ParentClass { 
>     public boolean doSomething(){...} // Noncompliant 
> }{code}
> h2. Compliant Solution
> {code:java}
> class ParentClass { 
>     public boolean doSomething(){...} 
> } 
> class FirstChildClass extends ParentClass { 
>     @Override 
>     public boolean doSomething(){...} // Compliant 
> }{code}
> h2. Exceptions
> This rule is relaxed when overriding a method from the {{Object}} class like {{toString()}}, {{hashCode()}}, ...
