Whenever I create a new Java file in Eclipse and check off the option to add public static void main(String args[]), this code is generated:

public class Test {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

How do i:

  • Remove the @param args comment
  • Change the indentation so each { is on a line of its own
  • Remove the TODO auto generated comment
A: 

Eclipse has a lot of configuration options. Take a look in the Windows | Preferences dialog (or the Eclipse Preferences pan on OSX).

If you dig deep enough - you'll find the options under Java | Code Style.

To configure it go to the : window->preferences->java->code style->code templates

The indention is a formatting issue while the comments is a template issue.

The templates are in Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Code Templates. Browse all of them and look for the things you would like to change.

The Formatter is a little bit more complicated. You find it under Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter. There are tons of options there but I'll just answer your question.

  • Templates -> Comments -> Methods -> Edit and delete everything
  • Formatter -> Edit -> Braces Tab -> Change which situations you want
  • Templates -> Code -> Method Body -> Edit and delete everything

Also make sure you check "Use code formatter" in Java > Editor > Templates
