Hi All!

Is it possible to insert a date-time stamp through the editor?

Thanks for any advice!

If you didn't find any editor action that does it (I never looked for one,
assuming you tried) you can try code templates (Prefs/Java/Editor/Templates).
Create one for javadoc, named date with body containing ${date}, ${time}.
Then in JavaDoc you can type "da"+ Ctrl-SPACE and it will complete "date",
replace it with your template and evaluate the body.

My goodness that was easy!

How can I find a list of these environment properties for other templates?

In the same place. There is a button "insert var." that shows all
along with their descriptions.
