How to modify the code generated by 'generate...' menu ?

No,
it's not possible now.

Hi,

Is this possible, and how ?

If you just add the same doc to every getter and setter, why add it at all?

Company policy is the usual answer. I've worked at places like that.

1) Company policy, indeed;

2) Because I feel uncomfortable not commenting public methods, even though their usage is straightforward. The risk is that some developers could use use the 'straightforward' excuse to avoid writing comments;

3) Because it is done in JDK, and I strive to use it as reference point.

He might also be used to Eclipse, which generates something like this awful
Javadoc:

/**
Returns firstName.
@return the firstName
*/
public String getFirstName() { return firstName; }

I think it's one of Eclipse's worse problems.

/**

*/
public String getFirstName() { return firstName; }

Yes, I really was missing such <censored/> JavaDoc, which I was
accustomed to from the Netbeanz project ;)
