Intellij generate javadoc for methods and classes

Is it possible to set up Intellij to generate javadoc for methods and classes, automatically, with @author and @since date? I had this feature in Eclipse.

I know that the files have templates and also I can manually semi-automatically add javadoc to selected method/class. But I want the generation to be automatic for every generated method/class/enum/interface/field etc.

This is useful for e.g. "extract method", "override/implement", "create getter/setter" etc. This would save hundreds of manual actions.

I'm using IntelliJ Idea 9.0 BETA Community Edition, #IC-90.96.

I have given up on hoping that IntelliJ will be able to do this. I now open my project in Eclipse, go to the desired files and invoke JAutoDoc.

Now there is a new plugin available for that. It works great, you can generate javadoc with alt+insert.

It's called "javaDoc", it's available directly in the plugin section. The documentation is here : https://github.com/setial/intellij-javadocs/wiki

Actually it's now possible, you can simply go to "Settings/Editor/File and Code Templates". There, you can edit the template which is used to create classes, enums, interfaces etc. My Intellij version is 2019.2.3 and on linux.

An easy option is to access Find Action menu (Macs: Cmd+Shift+A | Win: Ctrl+Shift+A) and type any part of the Generate JavaDoc action. Once you found and clicked on that , an option menu for generation of JavaDocs is opened , containing a wide range of options and scopes.
