Is anyone familiar with a tool that generates code stubs with meaningful names from class and javadoc?
The real question should’ve been ‘I have classes without debug information and a matching javadoc, but my IntelliJ IDEA 8.0.1 (please, no IDE wars) doesn’t take into account the javadoc and shows me ‘void setLocation(Object object, String str1, int i1, int i2);’ instead of ‘void setLocation(Object component, String name, int x, int y);’ – which makes a HUGE difference, both to auto-completion and ease of use’. If this can be answered, I’d be satisfied as well.
I suggest to file a bug against IDEA along these lines: If a class has no debug information but has JavaDocs, IDEA should use the JavaDoc to determine the names of the parameters.
Btw. Eclipse has the same problem. 🙂
