Description

Currently NetBeans IDE supports inheritance of docblocks containing @inheritdoc annotation.

It would be useful if docblocks are inherited even in case when there is no docblock present.

Example:

class Circle {

    /**
     * Hides circle
     */
    public function hide() {        
    }

    /**
     * Shows circle
     */
    public function show() {
    }
}

class SpecialCircle extends Circle {

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function hide() {
        parent::hide();
    }

    public function show() {
        parent::show();
    }

    public function redraw() {
        $this->hide(); // Text "Hides circle" is shown
        $this->show(); // Text "PHPDoc not found" is shown, expected "Shows circle"
    }
}
