Bug 40952 Generate getter and setter: set field name as default return value
Unfortunately, the new Eclipse version does not create a get/set method in the form of /** * Description. * * @return string */ public String getName() { return name; } anymore but it leaves out the value of the @return param: /** * Description. * * @return */ public String getName() { return name; } But this has the bad side effect that generating javadoc generates warnings for each method that was automatically generated via "Generate getter and setter" function of eclipse. To get a clean javadoc creation back again, you have to fill in the @return value by hand which makes all the nice automatic stuff rather useless. i suggest to set the field name as the default return value: /** * Description. * * @return name */ public String getName() { return name; } which should be quite easy to implement as each get/set method is created based on this field name!
