Question

How to autogenerate xml based function header comments (@param etc) in Eclipse. Is there an equivalent of “///” shortcut in Visual Studio.

Answer 1

In the line just before the method definition, type /** and hit enter.

In the IDE, type /** just before the method and hit enter.
Eclipse will autogenerate the Javadoc tags and the end */

type /** here and his enter, eclipse will generate the javadoc tags and the end */
public void setName(String name)
{
   ...
}
