Is there a setting somewere that allwos me to 开发者_Python百科make the default like this

/*
* TESTING

Indeed there is! Assuming you want to change the Java code templates (though it's similar for other plugins too):

First, go to Window -> Preferences.

Then, Java -> Code Style -> Code Templates -> Comments.

Now that I have a better idea of what you are looking for, I think what you want is to define a custom code template.

Again, go to Window -> Preferences.

Then, Java -> Editor -> Templates. Create a new template.

Under name give it something like 'xxx' so you won't collide with other reserved words (unfortunately, anything with / or /* is reserved). For the pattern, just add the following:

/*
 * TESTING
 */

Now, when you type 'xxx' then CTRL+<space> in the editor, it will replace it with your comment template.
