Autocompletion of @author in Intellij
I'm migrating from Eclipse to Intellij Idea. One thing I couldn't figure out yet is autocompletion of the @author JavaDoc tag.
When typing @a in Eclipse, there are two proposals:
@author - author name
@author
How do I achieve the first proposal in Intellij (is it even possible?)? And if it's possible, how do I change the template of what is inserted for the author name placeholder?
Answer
One more option, not exactly what you asked, but can be useful:
Go to Settings -> Editor -> File and code templates -> Includes tab (on the right). There is a template header for the new files, you can use the username here:
/**
* @author myname
*/
For system username use:
/**
* @author ${USER}
*/
