I used to use Doxygen, which produced a nice report listing items that were had not been documented. Is there any way I can generate a similar report of missing Javadoc comments in an Eclipse Java project?

It’s not a “report” as such, but you can configure Eclipse to report missing (and malformed) JavaDoc comments as warnings or even errors.
You can do that either on a per-workspace basis (Window -> Preferences – > Java -> Compiler -> Javadoc) or on a per-project basis (select project -> Right-Click -> Properties -> Java Compiler – > Javadoc).
