Writing Javadoc Comments In general, Javadoc comments are any multi-line comments (" /** ... */ ") that are placed before class, field, or method declarations. They must begin with a slash and two stars, and they can include special tags to describe characteristics like method parameters or return values.
Create JSDoc commentsPosition the caret before the declaration of the method/function or field to document, type the opening block comment /** , and press Enter . IntelliJ IDEA generates a JSDoc comment with a list of parameters ( @param ) and return values ( @returns ), where applicable.
Javadoc is a tool which comes with JDK and it is used for generating Java code documentation in HTML format from Java source code, which requires documentation in a predefined format. Following is a simple example where the lines inside /*…. */ are Java multi-line comments.
Typing /** + then pressing Enter above a method signature will create Javadoc stubs for you.
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.
By default, you can also press Ctrl+Shift+A two times and begin typing Fix doc comment in order to find the action.
Shortcut Alt+Enter shows intention actions where you can choose "Add Javadoc".
