It seems that the wisdom here is changing. Today I installed IntelliJ IDEA 9 and noticed that its "missing @Override inspection" now catches not just implemented abstract methods, but implemented interface methods as well. In my employer's code base and in my own projects, I've long had the habit to only use @Override for the former -- implemented abstract methods. However, rethinking the habit, the merit of using the annotations in both cases becomes clear. Despite being more verbose, it does protect against the fragile base class problem (not as grave as C++-related examples) where the interface method name changes, orphaning the would-be implementing method in a derived class.

当然，这种情况多半是夸张的;派生类将不再编译，现在缺少重命名接口方法的实现，今天可能会使用重命名方法重构操作来处理整个代码库。

鉴于IDEA的检查无法配置为忽略已实现的接口方法，今天我将改变我的习惯和我的团队的代码审查标准。

@Override在接口上实际上是有帮助的，因为如果你改变了接口，你会得到警告。

最佳实践是始终使用它(或让IDE为您填充它们)

@Override有用性是检测父类中没有向下报告的变化。 如果没有@Override，你可以改变方法签名而忘记改变它的覆盖，使用@Override，编译器将为你捕获它。

有这样的安全网总是好的。

接口实现上的@Override是不一致的，因为在java中没有“覆盖接口”这样的事情。

@Override on interface implementation is useless since in practise it catches no bugs that the compilation wouldn't catch anyway. There is only one, far fetched scenario where override on implementers actually does something: If you implement an interface, and the interface REMOVES methods, you will be notified on compile time that you should remove the unused implementations. Notice that if the new version of the interface has NEW or CHANGED methods you'll obviously get a compile error anyways as you're not implementing the new stuff.

在1.6中不应该允许接口实现@Override，而不幸的是，eclipse选择自动插入注释作为默认行为，我们得到了大量杂乱的源文件。在阅读1.6代码时，您无法从@Override注释中看出一个方法实际上覆盖了超类中的一个方法，还是仅仅实现了一个接口。

在重写超类中的方法时使用@Override是可以的。

如果您发现自己经常重写(非抽象)方法，您可能需要检查一下您的设计。当编译器无法捕捉错误时，它非常有用。例如，尝试在ThreadLocal中覆盖initValue()，这是我已经做过的。

在实现接口方法(1.6+特性)时使用@Override对我来说似乎有点过度。如果你有大量的方法，有些重写了，有些没有，这可能又是糟糕的设计(如果你不知道，你的编辑器可能会显示哪个是哪个)。
