Question

I wonder if it is possible to edit the way the NetBeans autocomplete markup of comment.

wanted to change:

/*
 * comment
 */

to:

/*
* comment
*/

is it possible?

Answer 1

It’s not really possible to do exactly what you want. The best thing I found is :

Tools -> Options -> Editor

Select Java and Comment

Then unckeck Add Leading Star

Now when you type : /**, it will be expanded as :

/**

*/

It’s the alignment you want but you have to put yourself the *, they are not added automatically anymore but the cursor will be aligned when you type Enter.
