In Eclipse Indigo, I can usually type in

/** and hit enter to get the auto generated javadoc comment template.
(This includes pre-populated parameters annotations and etc.)

How come this only works on certain classes?
The other classes that do not work, it only shows the regular

/**
*
*/

It should work on all classes.Can you give a class where it doesn't work?

There seems to be no regular pattern or I'm just not spotting it. I'm not the only one who is experiencing this. My co-workers are experiencing the same thing. Maybe it could be the way we have configured Javadoc settings? I can't exactly post the code up here as it is confidential nor put up a good example as I don't see a pattern in this behaviour... I wonder if anybody else is having this issue...

For your description, I wonder if your dealing with overridden vs extension
methods on a class and static vs member methods/variables. I think there
are multiple templates covering some of the above combinations?
