This is an evolution request: Would it be possible to have a WYSIWYG editor for javadoc. Actual editor seems to me incomplete. Javadoc is a very important part of java development, and the aim is to make this task easiest as possible.
I second this request. If somebody wants decent technical documentation to his/her classes then well-formatted Javadoc is needed. Netbeans 6 gives very basic support for writing rich JavaDoc comments (almost nothing). Currently it is a pain in the ... to write any richer than plain text with the code editor. When the developer navigates to a Javadoc comment, a rich text editor should be activated within the code editor and allow correct formatting in a WYSIWYG way. In the code editor, JavaDoc comments should be displayed as rich text, not the plain HTML code which you need to write manually now.
