Hello all!

I am a newbie in jdt, and i would to like to find out if there is a way to specify whether a method is overriding another one belonging to a class of the java api or of a library, assuming that the code doesn't contain @override annotation.

Can i somehow use

JavaModelUtil.findInCompilationUnit(ICompilationUnit, IJavaElement)

with the superclass and the method as parameters, to find out if the method is also declared in the superclass, or is there another way?

Thank you very much!

Kat
