How can I generate Javadoc comments in Eclipse?

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.

Auto-generate Javadoc comments in Eclipse?

There may be a better approach, but if you expand the class in Package Explorer, select the methods you would to document, then right-click and select "Source -> Generate Element Comment" that will add comments for all the selected methods.

Eclipse - auto generate class Javadoc using class name manipulation

Code templates are limited to simple variable substitution. Some of variables do accept arguments to manipulate the output in certain ways (e.g. currentDate can be configured with a date format pattern) but none of the built-in variables allow you to do complex string manipulation. You most certainly need a plugin to achieve what you want.

You should look for plugins that let you define more complex class templates. After a quick search I found the FastCode Eclipse plugin which looks like it allows you to create custom templates in some template language. The screenshots look quite dated though and the website doesn't say which Eclipse versions are supported.

You can also write a plugin yourself. It should be possible to provide some simple custom variables for templates. Or write a plugin that provides a file creation wizard which gives you complete control over the generated class. Another option would be to write a plugin that extends the editor with custom content assist (code completion) to generate code or documentation in existing files.

Eclipse generating Javadocs just for the last class edited

Use Project > Generate Javadoc, then select which classes you want generate and

  • check in Package level classes in first page (better usage for developers)
  • press Next, then see "Select referenced archives...should be generated:", then search which classes/packages you want update, and check in again.
  • after Next, check in your built-in browser seeing with "Open generated index file in browser"
