First, I have a maven Java EE 6 web project. Javadoc editing seems very wonky in the groovy support right now. In the java editor, if I type /** and then hit enter, it auto fills the javadoc based on parameters or at a minimum each consecutive newline will be preceded with an asterisk (*). Current, in the groovy editor, for a New|File|Groovy|Groovy Class type file, if I type /** and press enter, then nothing happens with the project type I'm using. I initially thought it was only happening on groovy property definitions. In groovy if one defines a variable like:

String name;

Then groovy will create getName() and setName(String value) methods in the class. However, it happens for methods and anything else I add and try to document. So, it seems javadoc editing in groovy files is not working correctly if at all.
