Automatic comments generation in eclipse

In eclipse, it can be configured to generate the comments automatically.

Go to Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Code style -> Code Templates in eclipse.

Here we can configure the comment formats to be generated automatically.

Otherwise, click the "import" button and select the tempalte xml file (click here for a sample template xml ).

On creating a new java class, check the "Generate Comments" checkbox(find it at the bottom of the wizard window) .

To add the comment template, for a method, right click on method name -> Source -> Generate element comment (Shift + Alt  + j).
