To customize the default opening comment block in Java using NetBeans 7.4, navigate to Tools > Templates > Java > Java Class and click the "Open In Editor" button. The template can be edited, and it appears to be written using Freemarker or a similar template language, allowing for modifications to suit specific requirements, such as including an MLA-style comment block before the first package declaration. This approach provides a straightforward way to tailor the comment block to meet educational or personal preferences.

I'm new to Java. My high school CS teacher requires an MLA-style comment block before the first package declaration in our programs, I was just wondering how I might change the default opening comment block.

I'm using NetBeans 7.4. I did some searching and I couldn't find much help. I mean I did, but most tutorials assumed java knowledge at a level far higher than mine at the moment.

Thanks for the help!

Go to Tools > Templates > Java > Java Class, and click the "Open In Editor" button at the bottom. It looks like the template is written with Freemarker or something similar, but you should be able to work from what's there.

I think that's what you're after.
