It is really great that Eclipse autocompletes stuff like curly brackets
and so on.
At the moment my Eclipse completes as following

for(something){ <As i press enter here Eclipse puts bracket

} <HERE

But what ia want it to do is following

for(something){ <As i press enter here Eclipse puts bracket and
comment

} //for <HERE

I want it to add also a comment about what that bracket ends...

So how can i do that???

I think what you are looking for are the Code Templates or Content
Assist in the Window/Preferences section. I believe there is a Code
Template section for Java and C++ (if you have the CDT installed), and
in the Editor section. If it isn't intuitive how to setup or change
current templates, check the manual.

Priit,

what you request is not available out of the box. You would need to hack
JavaAutoIndentStrategy to get what you want... or file an enhancement
request.
