Javadoc auto generation for intellij

Question

Is there an automatic Javadoc generation plugin for IntelliJ? Example http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/

Answer 1

Javadoc generation (writing .html files) is done for you upon request (Tools-> Generate Javadoc) and is essentially automatic as soon as you configure it. Creating javadoc stubs, which jautodoc does for Eclipse, is done by method, class, and only where you specify it.

Entering /** <enter> above the method signature will create Jubadoc stubs for you. I suspect you want to do something for the whole file, package, or project (e.g. jautodoc). Previously, there was a plugin: http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=952 , but it will not work with 10.

I have to say that this jautodoc example, while a neat party trick, is the most useless thing I have ever seen in the IDE: it creates a description based on the variable name - but only if the variable name is so delineated that in the first place he doesn’t need a comment.

 /** * The number of questions */ private int numberOfQuestions; 

Makes longing for a punched card.
