IDEA 5.0.1 and @Override annotation with abstract methods

IDEA is following the behaviour of javac. So yes, it's strange, but no,
it's not a bug - at least not a bug of IDEA.

There is no intermediate class that implements the abstract method, so this is not the concrete class overriding some other implementation of the method.

Nevertheless, IDEA 5.0.1 is telling me that the method is "missing the @Override annotation"... I'm not overriding, I'm implementing, so it should be irrelevant, right? Is this a bug I should post?

It is legal to @Override only methods from super class (possibly abstract),
but not from super interface.
This was indeed fixed in 5.0.1, in case you experience other behaviour, this
is a bug that you should post.
