Question

When using the standard api, for example the collections library, the predictive text options windows also shows the comments on class/methods.

however when I do the same style comments on my own code – the open project I am working on (code completion works correctly, just no comments appear), and then reference it later. These comments are not displayed. I get the correct code completion options, just none of the associated comments/documentation. They are not in jar, they are source files, that are built using maven into a war file.

Is there a setting I need to enable in eclipse, or do I need to set up javadoc or something ?

Answer 1

How embarassing, you to have to specify double asterix at the begininng of comment to create a javdoc comment
