How to change Java comments template?

Question

I use /** + ENTER to generate javadoc, but i found there's a whitespace before line 3:

1 /**
2 * Test.
3 * 
4 * @author xxx
5 */

Every time i try "source - format" in eclipse,the white space comes out. How can i remove this whitespace in the comments template somewhere ?

This has been pissing me off for some time until I finally found the solution. He mentions this is work around, it does not matter for me - it works like a charm. Don't forget to plus him, he is life savior!

Solution 2

I have option Blank line before Javadoc tags in preference->Java->Code style->Formater, click on Edit button, open Comments tab and look at Javadoc comment settings. May be it helps you.

Did you try preference->java->Code Style->Code Templates.And edit your template?

I have tried it already, but i didn't find any thing can solve the problem since there's no option about whitespace in comment settings.

Thanks,but i need the blank line without a whitespace before it(Check my code you will find a whitespace after * in line 3).

The work around mentioned in stackoverflow.com/a/7727232/1108032 doesn't work if you right click on a package and execute the Format action.

@F.O.O This is link directlly to Stackoverflow - chances are that my answer will get deleted before the one i link to. Furthermore I deliberately link without including the answer contents - thus the updates there will immediately be reflected in my answer too, you see :)
