The javadoc tool works primarily from source, and by default the maven javadoc 
plugin doesn’t include the sources of dependencies - which is why @inheritDoc 
doesn’t include the javadoc from the dependency.

You can tell the javadoc plugin to include the sources of dependencies with:

        <includeDependencySources>true</includeDependencySources>

and include the sources of transitive dependencies with:

        
<includeTransitiveDependencySources>true</includeTransitiveDependencySources>

You can also use dependencySourceExcludes / dependencySourceIncludes to control 
which particular sources get pulled in 

( this assumes that the dependency sources - typically produced by the maven 
source plugin - are available in the local/remote repository )
