java 注解 override_关于java 注解的问题之Override-

一下是java给出的源代码：

/* * @(#)Override.java1.6 05/11/17 * * Copyright 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. * SUN PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL. Use is subject to license terms. */

package java.lang;

import java.lang.annotation.*;

/** * Indicates that a method declaration is intended to override a * method declaration in a superclass.  If a method is annotated with * this annotation type but does not override a superclass method, * compilers are required to generate an error message. * * @author  Joshua Bloch * @since 1.5 */@Target(ElementType.METHOD)@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE)public @interface Override {}

以上实际只有一句是有用的即：

@Target(ElementType.METHOD)

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE)

public @interface Override {}

但从此源代码来看，似乎什么都没实现，那么从哪里看出此注解是声明覆盖父类的方法呢？还望各位不吝赐教，谢谢！
