  /**
   * <div>
   * Checks the Javadoc of a method or constructor.
   * </div>
   *
   * <p>
   * Violates parameters and type parameters for which no param tags are present can
   * be suppressed by defining property {@code allowMissingParamTags}.
   * </p>
   *
   * <p>
   * Violates methods which return non-void but for which no return tag is present can
   * be suppressed by defining property {@code allowMissingReturnTag}.
   * </p>
   *
   * <p>
   * Violates exceptions which are declared to be thrown (by {@code throws} in the method
   * signature or by {@code throw new} in the method body), but for which no throws tag is
   * present by activation of property {@code validateThrows}.
   * Note that {@code throw new} is not checked in the following places:
   * </p>
   * <ul>
   * <li>
   * Inside a try block (with catch). It is not possible to determine if the thrown
   * exception can be caught by the catch block as there is no knowledge of the
   * inheritance hierarchy, so the try block is ignored entirely. However, catch
   * and finally blocks, as well as try blocks without catch, are still checked.
   * </li>
   * <li>
   * Local classes, anonymous classes and lambda expressions. It is not known when the
   * throw statements inside such classes are going to be evaluated, so they are ignored.
   * </li>
   * </ul>
   *
   * <p>
   * ATTENTION: Checkstyle does not have information about hierarchy of exception types
   * so usage of base class is considered as separate exception type.
   * As workaround, you need to specify both types in javadoc (parent and exact type).
   * </p>
   *
   * <p>
   * Javadoc is not required on a method that is tagged with the {@code @Override}
   * annotation. However, under Java 5 it is not possible to mark a method required
   * for an interface (this was <i>corrected</i> under Java 6). Hence, Checkstyle
   * supports using the convention of using a single {@code {@inheritDoc}} tag
   * instead of all the other tags.
   * </p>
   *
   * <p>
   * Note that only inheritable items will allow the {@code {@inheritDoc}}
   * tag to be used in place of comments. Static methods at all visibilities,
   * private non-static methods and constructors are not inheritable.
   * </p>
   *
  * <p>
  * For example, if the following method is implementing a method required by
  * an interface, then the Javadoc could be done as:
  * </p>
  * <pre>
  * &#47;** {&#64;inheritDoc} *&#47;
  * public int checkReturnTag(final int aTagIndex,

  * when a method has parameters but does not have matching {@code param} tags in the javadoc.
