How to add a hyperlink in a comment in eclipse javadocs

I would like Eclipse to resolve e.g. this hyperlink in a javadoc:

/*
 * for reference, look here: http://www.google.com
 */

The goal would be that the hyperlink is just "clickable" as any normal hyperlink (e.g. as in pdf or doc files).

Solution

  • That is only possible in a JavaDoc comment!

    Example:

    /**
 * for reference, look here: <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
 */

    After generating the Javadoc, you have a normal hyperlink. An other way is to watch in the JavaDoc view of Eclipse!

    EDIT: Another way in a normal comment is to press the CTRL and click with the left mouse botton on the link!
