Came across interesting inheritance / overriding issue (taken from here).

When both Base and Derived classes are abstract, and

1. both have exactly same abstract method, or
2. abstract Base has concrete method, and Derived declares SAME method abstract.

I don't understand why Eclipse IDE calls it in Derived

1. implements (it gives NO CODE / BODY in Derived!)
2. overrides (also gives NO CODE / BODY in Derived!)

Snippet 1:

public abstract class Girl {
     abstract String getDescription();
}


abstract class GirlDecorator extends Girl {
       abstract String getDescription();  // implements Girl.getDescription() - says Eclipse IDE
}

Snippet 2:

public abstract class Girl {
    String description = "no particular";

      String getDescription() {
          return description;
      }
}

abstract class GirlDecorator extends Girl {
       abstract String getDescription();  // overrides Girl.getDescription() - says Eclipse IDE
}
