Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2)
I typically use the "/**" method to insert Javadoc on my methods. Eclipse inserts @param for the all the args, @throws for all the throwables, and a @return. However the @return never has a type appended to it. It looks like this:
/**
*
* @param criteria
* @param filters
* @return
*/
protected static String
getColumnNameFromCriteria(SelectedCriteria criteria, List<SelectionFilter> filters)
The first question is: is there a switch somewhere in Eclipse to make it automatically insert the method return type when adding Javadoc?
I could not find one, so I looked up: preferences->java->code style->code templates->Methods
On that template I see a variable ${tags}. That variable is what generates the Javadoc shown above.
The second question is: is there a way to edit ${tags} to include the variable ${return_type} appended to @return that is generated by ${tags}?
I want to be able to type /**<enter> and have Eclipse automatically create the following Javadoc:
/**
*
* @param criteria
* @param filters
* @return String
*/
protected static String
getColumnNameFromCriteria(SelectedCriteria criteria, List<SelectionFilter> filters)
Have you tried jautodoc plugin? have a look in to it may be it will help you.its better than eclipse built in alt-shift-j
