I would like Eclipse to resolve e.g. this hyperlink in a javadoc:
/*
* for reference, look here: http://www.google.com
*/
The goal would be that the hyperlink is just "clickable" as any normal hyperlink (e.g. as in pdf or doc files).

Creating a Link to Javadoc of Another Class To summarize, @link is preferred when we use a class or method name in the description. On the other hand, @see is used when a relevant reference is not mentioned in the description or as a replacement for multiple links to the same reference.
In eclipse, you can paste the link to a comment, hold down control and click it. If you want to be able to just press it without holding anything down, go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Hyperlinking, then click on URL and remove the modifier key, click apply, click ok and you're done!
Bear the following in mind when using Add Javadoc comment (Alt+Shift+J): To add a comment to a field, position the cursor on the field declaration. To add a comment to a method, position the cursor anywhere in the method or on its declaration.
That is only possible in a JavaDoc comment!
Example:
/**
* for reference, look here: <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
*/
After generating the Javadoc, you have a normal hyperlink. An other way is to watch in the JavaDoc view of Eclipse!
EDIT: Another way in a normal comment is to press the CTRL and click with the left mouse botton on the link!
