Is it possible to change the way ${date} value is set by Eclipse when writting Javadoc ? The default one does not suit me.

As said in this post, you can edit the template date in "Preferences->Java->Code Style->Code Templates":

And it will change the date format:

Answer 2

if you want to change the format of your eclipse date, just add following two lines to the eclipse.ini file:

-Duser.language="language code" -Duser.region="language code"

like

-Duser.language=hi -Duser.region=Hi

I think it will help.
