Eclipse Auto Generate Doxygen Comments Configuration

It seems Eclipse has Doxygen support somewhat natively now. Go to C/C++ -> Editors -> Documentation Tool Comments: Doxygen.

However it appears to only act on /** */ comments for auto generating.

In our project we use triple slash /// to generate doxygen comments.

It seems there is no way to configure Doxygen comment generation in Eclipse. Any tips? Is there a config file we can alter? Some way to force it.

Old question but it's better to add a fresh answer, currently eclipse cdt 9.10 in 2019-12 fully support /// and //! styles, in 2020-03 has been added few options to customize doxygen behavior

Unfortunately as of posting this answer there is no solution. The doxygen comment style is apparently hard coded in Eclipse Juno and previous. You can see a bug report here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=333134

There are workarounds but none support the auto doxygen comments generated in eclipse by merely typing '///[enter]'. See here for some attempts: Change doxygen comment style in Eclipse

A C++ code template is a good attempt but leaves a lot to be desired.

Until this changes this is the accepted answer.
