Intellij generate javadoc for methods and classes

Question

Is it possible to set up Intellij to generate javadoc for methods and classes, automatically, with @author and @since date ?
I had this feature in Eclipse.
I know, that files have templates and also i can manually semi-automatically add javadoc to selected method/class. But i want the generation to be automatic for every generated method/class/enum/interface/field etc.
This is useful for e.g. "extract method", "override/implement", "create getter/setter" etc.
This would save hundreds of manual actions.
I'm using IntelliJ Idea 9.0 BETA Community Edition, #IC-90.96.
TIA.

Solution 1

It's not possible at the moment. You may want to Vote for IDEABKL-1787.

Solution 2

For IntelliJ 12:

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

Solution 3

For newer versions of IntelliJ (2018+), you can use this solution:

Typing /** + then pressing Enter above a method signature will create Javadoc stubs for you.

Solution 4

for generate javadoc in intellij Idea go to Tools->Generate JavaDoc (4th option) click it and give path to save your Document

Solution 5

Now there is a new plugin available for that. It works great, you can generate javadoc with alt+insert.

It's called "javaDoc", it's available directly in the plugin section. The documentation is here : https://github.com/setial/intellij-javadocs/wiki
