I have Kotlin classes with KDoc, for example:

abstract class Something {
  /** # Documentation */
  abstract fun someFun()
}

This class is extended by Kotlin and Java classes. KDoc is correctly inherited by Kotlin classes. KDoc is shown upon clicking Ctrl+Q in Intellij in the subclass. However, it does not work if the subclass is written in Java. KDoc is not inherited in this case.

How can I inherit the KDoc in Java?

The linked question is pure Kotlin, this one is about Java. Not a duplicate, I think. – Adam Millerchip Jun 09 '21 at 04:33

Can you provide sample code of how you are trying to extend this in java? – Drivers Sea Sep 20 '21 at 15:31
```class SomethingElse extends Something { /* methods overrides here */ }``` – Yuriy Kulikov Sep 26 '21 at 11:58
By inherit do you mean you want to see the comment when pressing Ctrl + Q or do you want the entire comment to be copied over? I think the entire comment cannot be copied as Kdoc differs from Javadoc – Zeus Almighty Dec 16 '21 at 16:52
