Auto-generate Javadoc comments in intelliJ?

Question

Is it possible to auto-generate Javadoc comments for each method in one class in IntelliJ IDEA?

Solution 1

Yes.

Under Tools you have Generate JavaDoc. Read about it in the official site.

In addition you may (Intellij 15):

Position caret above a method name, type /** and press Enter to let IntelliJ IDEA automatically generate JavaDoc stubs for this method

Edit: You can use the action Fix doc comment. It doesn't have a default shortcut, but you can assign the Alt+Shift+J shortcut to it in the Keymap, because this shortcut isn't used for anything else.

Solution 2

A QuickShortCut is

CTRL+SHIFT+A

From the dropdown List "Fix doc comment"

Solution 3

You can use JavaDoc plugin for generation JavaDoc comments in batch mode. It is the simpliest way for do it.
