Hi,
With 7.0 and 7.1 versions:
When I implement one interface into a class and when I use “Add unimplemented methods” option, I get “@override” annotations on methods added automatically.
I think it is a mistake.
regards,
Bal.
Bal,
This is not a bug, the @Override annotations let the compiler know that these methods must override methods in the interface / super class. This allows eclipse to flag this as a warning or error in case you make a change to the method signature such that it no longer overrides a method in the interface or super class. You can read more about this annotation here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/annotations.html
If you don’t want these annotations generated, go to Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style and uncheck the “Add ‘@Override’ annotation for new overriding methods” checkbox.
Hope this helps.
You re perfectly right.
But I’m in a complex case. We have done several tests and I will explain…
My personal myeclipse come from one 6.6 update.
Co-workers have a fresh 7.1 install.When they use “Add unimplemented methods” option, the “@override” annotation is automatically added to the methods.
On my configuration when I do the same, I get any annotation “@override” added. ???
But all of them, we have the “Add ‘@Override’ annotation for new overriding methods” checkbox selected into the myeclipse configuration
So when they automatically add “@override” annotation on class implements interface and they commit, I always get a myeclipse error when I update SVN.
The error message I get is: “The method test() of type ManageBean must override a superclass method ManageBean .java projectEJB/src/com/test/ejb/ManageBean line 857 Java Problem”
I hope I’m clear. It’s a little hard to explain.
But I’m think it’s an upgrade bug because I’m alone to have this problem.

Could you please clarify what you mean here? When you “add unimplemented methods” you do get the @Override annotation, correct?
The error message I get is: “The method test() of type ManageBean must override a superclass method ManageBean .java projectEJB/src/com/test/ejb/ManageBean line 857 Java Problem”
It is highly likely that this is reporting a real problem where your test() method does not override a method in the super class/interface when it should. If you feel that the test() method should not be overriding a super method, simply delete the @Override annotation.
As far as I know it is not possible to turn the error for @Override off, so if you and your colleagues have exactly the same code, I find it unlikely that you see the error but they don’t. Is this the case? Are they compiling their code with JDK 1.4?
