This has become a pet peeve of mine. I write a class, and implement Serializible. Then eclipse warns me that I don't have a serialVersionUID, so I select "Add generated serialVersionUID" or "Add default serialVersionUID" and I end up with something like this:
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 4049849541314027178L;
Most of the time I don't want to add a comment, so I have to go and delete the comment. I would rather the default be no comment, but I've looked through the code templates in preferences and haven't figured out how to change this. I simply want it to look like this:
private static final long serialVersionUID = 4049849541314027178L;
It's using the template for any eclipse-generated field.
You can change it in

Java ->

... either globally or per-project.
