Michael Dürig commented on JCR-2482:
------------------------------------

If a super class (probably due to a library upgrade) removes a method which 
your code overrides, without @Override your code will compile fine, just your 
method won't get called anymore. This may lead to very subtle and probably hard 
to find bugs. With @Override your code wont compile anymore immediately 
directing you to the problem. 

I think the clutter of @Override is very low compared to the value added. 


> Reduce number of compiler warning by adding @Override and generics where 
> appropriate
