Javadoc's @param tag should not be used to document parameters which do not appear in the formal parameter list. This may indicate a typo, or an omission when refactoring.
/** * Parses {@code input} as a proto. * * @param inputBytes input bytes to parse. */ MyProto parse(byte[] input) { ... }
Suppress by applying @SuppressWarnings("InvalidParam") to the element being documented.
