Is it possible to re-use @param descriptions in JavaDoc?

Question

I have a convenience class for encoding URI's. In it I've created three methods which I use depending on how specific I need to be. I'm wondering if there is a smart way to re-use @param descriptions in this case using JavaDoc? (I haven't found any)

public class URLCreator {
    public static String getURLString(String host, int port, String path) {
     return getURLString("http", host, port, path, null);
    }
    public static String getURLString(String scheme, String host, int port, String path) {
     return getURLString(scheme, host, port, path, null);
    }
    public static String getURLString(String scheme, String host, int port, String path, String fragment) {
     try {
      URI uri = new URI(scheme, null, host, port, path, null, fragment);
      return uri.toString();
     } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
     }
    }
}

No. Copying works for overridden, but not for overloaded methods. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javadoc.html#inheritingcomments
