47   * <div>
48   * Checks the Javadoc of a method or constructor.
49   * </div>
50   *
51   * <p>
52   * Violates parameters and type parameters for which no param tags are present can
53   * be suppressed by defining property {@code allowMissingParamTags}.
54   * </p>
55   *
56   * <p>
57   * Violates methods which return non-void but for which no return tag is present can
58   * be suppressed by defining property {@code allowMissingReturnTag}.
59   * </p>
60   *
61   * <p>
62   * Violates exceptions which are declared to be thrown (by {@code throws} in the method
63   * signature or by {@code throw new} in the method body), but for which no throws tag is
64   * present by activation of property {@code validateThrows}.
65   * Note that {@code throw new} is not checked in the following places:
66   * </p>
67   * <ul>
68   * <li>
69   * Inside a try block (with catch). It is not possible to determine if the thrown
70   * exception can be caught by the catch block as there is no knowledge of the
71   * inheritance hierarchy, so the try block is ignored entirely. However, catch
72   * and finally blocks, as well as try blocks without catch, are still checked.
73   * </li>
74   * <li>
75   * Local classes, anonymous classes and lambda expressions. It is not known when the
76   * throw statements inside such classes are going to be evaluated, so they are ignored.
77   * </li>
78   * </ul>
79   *
80   * <p>
81   * ATTENTION: Checkstyle does not have information about hierarchy of exception types
82   * so usage of base class is considered as separate exception type.
83   * As workaround, you need to specify both types in javadoc (parent and exact type).
84   * </p>
85   *
86   * <p>
87   * Javadoc is not required on a method that is tagged with the {@code @Override}
88   * annotation. However, under Java 5 it is not possible to mark a method required
89   * for an interface (this was <i>corrected</i> under Java 6). Hence, Checkstyle
90   * supports using the convention of using a single {@code {@inheritDoc}} tag
91   * instead of all the other tags.
92   * </p>
93   *
94   * <p>
95   * Note that only inheritable items will allow the {@code {@inheritDoc}}
96   * tag to be used in place of comments. Static methods at all visibilities,
97   * private non-static methods and constructors are not inheritable.
98   * </p>
99   *
100  * <p>
101  * For example, if the following method is implementing a method required by
102  * an interface, then the Javadoc could be done as:
103  * </p>
104  * <pre>
105  * &#47;** {&#64;inheritDoc} *&#47;
