Missing '@Override' annotation
Reports methods overriding superclass methods but are not annotated with @java.lang.Override
.
Annotating methods with @java.lang.Override
improves code readability since it shows the intent. In addition, the compiler emits an error when a signature of the overridden method doesn't match the superclass method.
Example:
class X {
public String toString() {
return "hello world";
}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
class X {
@Override
public String toString() {
return "hello world";
}
}

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
override
Configure the inspection:
Use the Ignore 'equals()', 'hashCode()' and 'toString()' option to ignore these
java.lang.Object
methods:equals()
,hashCode()
, andtoString()
. The risk that these methods will disappear and your code won't be compiling anymore due to the@Override
annotation is relatively small.Use the Ignore methods in anonymous classes option to ignore methods in anonymous classes.
Disable the Highlight method when its overriding methods do not all have the '@Override' annotation option to only warn on the methods missing an
@Override
annotation, and not on overridden methods where one or more descendants are missing an@Override
annotation.
This inspection depends on the Java feature 'Annotations', which is available since Java 5.
Here you can find the description of settings available for the Missing '@Override' annotation inspection, and the reference of their default values.
