If I'm overriding a method from the super-class and the super-class has adequate 
documentation.  In JDK 1.4. we would use the {@inheritDoc} tag, in which case I would 
withdraw my objection.

There are some times when I deliberately do not put in javadoc to describe a variable 
that is 
self-evident or obvious.  Sometimes doing something like:

/**
 Stuff
 @param customerUserID the UserID of the customer
*/

Is basically useless.  I'm not sure  how much more interesting information I could put 
about 
customerUserID in the javadoc that would be useful to someone maintaining the code.  I 
could put internal information in the javadoc (i.e. We use the customerUserID as a key 
to 
the Customer Database table to look up other attributes related to the customer), but 
that 
also is self-evident in this particular system.

What information would you guys put in something like that?
