IntelliJ: How to add JavaDoc to an existing class using the "Class" template

Question

When I create a new test class with CTRL + SHIFT + T in IntelliJ (using 13.1.3), the new class has no class JavaDoc.

I do have a template for new Class, and for new Interface, but those do not get used when I create a new test class as described above.

Also, when I go to the new test class's declaration and insert JavaDoc as per /** + ENTER, then my templates aren't used either.

This works in Eclipse, and I am looking to have the same level of convenience in IntelliJ.

Any way to make this work?

It's weird, I've tested this moments ago on IDEA 12, and it creates javadoc for test classes. — pbespechnyi, Sep 09 '14 at 12:19

You can configure templates, that IntelliJ IDEA uses to generate things. It's available in File | Settings | File Templates

You can learn more from official documentation here: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/file-templates.html

Intellij: Change JUnit Test Class template shows how to edit the template for Test classes.

I didn't see it because it's in the "Code" tab, while the template for new classes is in the "templates" tab. The separation seems arbitrary, but whatever.

I still don't know how to add JavaDoc as per template to an existing class that is completely missing JavaDoc.
