RIGHT CLICK --> Source --> Generate Element Comment

or just click on Shift + Alt + J

There are several ways to do this:

  • Use the Shift + Alt + J when your cursor is anywhere within your method or on the method header
  • Use Rightclick -> Source -> Generate Element Comment to generate Javadoc comments in your editor window

The templates for these comments can be customized in the template section of the preferences: Window -> Preferences and then Java -> Code Style -> Code Templates

Type

/**
Enter

Afterwards Eclipse will generate you a default java-doc.
