Welcome to anti-refactoring lesson number 3.

The "Repetita Juvant Principle" is the counterpart of the DRY principle:

1    @Override
2    public SomeObject getSomeObject() {
3        return super.getSomeObject();
4    }
5
6    @Override
7    public void setSomeObject(SomeObject arg0) {
8        super.setSomeObject( arg0 );
9    }

Then, you may think... this code has been written for some purpose, right? The only purpose of this code could be to expose as public a method that is protected on the superclass. So I checked the superclass and, guess what...? The methods were already public! Simply fantastic.
