Anyone know of a tool that will repopulate Java source files from javadoc documentation?

To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
Do you mean to reverse engineer the code? (impossible) or to re-add all the JavaDoc comments back into the original source (also impossible) or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?
Without a doubt they are both possible, but looking for a tool for the latter.

Ive not heard of any such tool, but if you have the class files still you can reverse engineer them with DJ Java decompiler or similar..
Had a quick look around for a javadoc->code tool but couldnt find one ;/
I have a much better tool that I wrote using the the same backend as DJ, but I've spent too much time on it as it is and am looking for somthing that could get all of the javadoc back into the source, it's a mid-sized project.

I think yamangman is looking for a tool that will create function stubs from the javadoc, to save typing them out.
Problem is, when javadoc is created, the documentation for each function comes from javadoc statements, not from the code, so there is no guarantee that the function prototype as it appears in the javadoc matches the actual code.
