I add javadoc when it helps, not just to add size to my .java files. The functionality you mention could be a plugin (that you can install and I don't have to) or an external tool (that you configure and I do not).
Take a look at http://www.doclet.com and search for either DocWiz or CommentMaster. Feel free to configure an external tool for them. This isn't something JetBrains should waste their time duplicating. -sms "Paul Bradshaw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message ah1kd7$mh4$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:ah1kd7$mh4$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Well, it's more than just three characters.
