title: How to create Java method descriptions in Eclipse?
body: <p>I'm completely new to Java and the Eclipse IDE. I have background with .NET and Visual Studio. In VS when I want to create a description for a method, I just type three "/" characters and I get an auto-generated comment template, which looks similarly to the example below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/// &lt;summary&gt;
  /// This is my summary. Hope it is helpful. ;)
  /// &lt;/summary&gt;
  /// &lt;param name="item"&gt;Description of the item parameter.&lt;/param&gt;
  /// &lt;returns&gt;&lt;/returns&gt;
  T Add(T item); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, when somebody uses my method, the IDE will give him/her a hint, which is visualized right on top of the method's name. How can I achieve this in Eclipse, giving descriptions for my Java methods?</p>
