This IntelliJ IDEA plugin automates the generation of Javadoc and Kdoc comments for Java and Kotlin code. It targets Java and Kotlin developers seeking to streamline documentation, offering features like multi-language translation, customizable mappings, and document translation, significantly reducing manual effort.

How It Works

The plugin leverages various translation services (Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, Youdao, Microsoft, Google) to translate method names and comments into English. Users can configure custom mappings to correct translation errors or improve accuracy. It supports generating comments for classes, methods, and properties with configurable templates and offers batch generation for classes.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install via IntelliJ IDEA's plugin marketplace: Search for "Easy Javadoc".
• Requires IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1 or later.
• Translation services require API keys and may have free monthly quotas.
