Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-2972:
--------------------------------------
I thought in java6 that @Override could now be used with interfaces. I find it
an extremely useful annotation and my eclipse generates the @override when it
auto-creates a class that implements an interface.

Is your redhat eclipse doing java5 verification?

> Red Hat's version of Eclipse barfs all over the place on HBase code. The
> problem is technically inappropriate use of the @Override decorator. See
> http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Override.html.
> Should only be used when a method declaration is intended to override a
> method declaration in a superclass, NOT an interface.
> Attached janitorial patches removes all inappropriate @Override decorators on
> interface methods on trunk and 0.20 branch.
