How Do I Comment in Spring Tool Suite?

Published in Programming 1 min read

You can comment in Spring Tool Suite (STS) just like you would in any Java editor. Here's how:

  • Single-line comments: Start a line with //.
  • Multi-line comments: Use /* at the beginning and */ at the end.
  • Javadoc comments: Use /** at the beginning and */ at the end. This allows you to write documentation for your code that can be used by tools like Javadoc.

Example:

// This is a single-line comment

/* 
This is a multi-line comment.
It can span multiple lines.
*/

/**
 * This is a Javadoc comment.
 * It can be used to document your code.
 */

STS also provides features to help you comment your code more efficiently:

  • Keyboard shortcuts: You can use keyboard shortcuts to comment and uncomment blocks of code.
  • Code completion: STS can help you complete your comments, including Javadoc tags.

Remember, commenting your code is essential for maintaining readability and understanding.
