How can I quickly create Javadoc links to elements in Eclipse?

Question

I want to easily create links to classes, methods, fields, etc. from within my Javadocs without having to type out the full expression e.g., {@link AllowAllHostnameVerifie

Answer 1

1. If you don't already have a Javadoc for the element you're documenting, press
   Shift+Alt+J.

2. Using the AllowAllHostnameVerifier example, from within the Javadoc comment where you'd like the link, use autocomplete: Type AAHV then Ctrl+Space.

3. Select {@link AllowAllHostnameVerifier} from the list of autocomplete options by pressing ↓ then Enter.
