How configure Intellij Idea javadoc templates?

Question

I have some method:

public int getSomeField()

I want to generate javadoc like this:

/**
* Gets {someField}
*
* @return value of {someField}
*/

Where {someField} is placeholder for field name. It is possible to create this templates for Intellij Idea (may be as live template)?

Answer 1

Bring up the Generate menu (Cmd+N on Mac, Alt+Insert on Windows)

Click the ellipsis in the top right hand corner.

Click the plus in the top left corner and create a new template.

Copy the contents of the old template into the new template and add the following lines to the top of it.

/**
* Gets $field.name
*
* @return value of $field.name
*/

Now when you generate the getter use the 'New Template' and you should get your getter with the JavaDoc.
