I have seen this message generated by Eclipse when the programmer asks Eclipse to add a Javadoc comment to some code in a location where [EDIT: Eclipse thinks] the Javadoc tool will not actually use it.
A common example is the implementation of a method in an interface implemented by the class (which in Java 6 needs the @Override annotation). Javadoc will use the javadoc placed on the method in the INTERFACE, not the one provided in the implementation.
The rest of the comment was most likely written by a person that did not know this.
