For interfaces and abstract methods it is generally a good practice to add a @return annotation even if it is just @return void or @return null, so that implementors know what to do in the overridden method.
For interface and abstract methods, it is impossible to infer the return type
from the immediate code. In these cases, it is generally advisible to explicitly
annotate these methods with a @return doc comment to communicate to implementors
of these methods what they are expected to return.

This check looks for
@paramannotations where the type inferred by our type inference engine differs from the declared type.It makes a suggestion as to what type it considers more descriptive.
Most often this is a case of a parameter that can be null in addition to its declared types.
