How can I generate Javadoc comments in Eclipse?

eclipse, java, javadoc

Solution

For me the `/**<NEWLINE>` or Shift-Alt-J (or ⌘-⌥-J on a Mac) approach works best.

I dislike seeing Javadoc comments in source code that have been auto-generated and have not been updated with real content. As far as I am concerned, such javadocs are nothing more than a waste of screen space.

IMO, it is much much better to generate the Javadoc comment skeletons one by one as you are about to fill in the details.
