Adrian Crum closed OFBIZ-3531.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I did some research too. It seems the functionality of @Override was extended
in Java 6, but it wasn't documented. The reason for allowing @Override on
interface method implementations is this: If the interface changes and a method
is removed, the compiler will generate a warning for classes that implement the
removed method.
> Methods that implement interface methods were being marked with the @Override
> annotation causing compile failure in Eclipse

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Environment: Eclipse 3.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.8

> Implementations of the TemporalExpressionVisitor interface and some base
> comparison methods were implementation methods but were marked with the
> @Override annotation. This caused compile errors in Eclipse in these four
> classes. I simply removed the @Override on these methods and I fixed one
> generics related warning.
