It suggests not just to put the classes name there but also use a @link tag so one can navigate the Javadoc sources later on. The finished comment:

Unfortunately this functionality is not available in JetBrains’ IntelliJ Idea. There is (of course) auto completion for classnames in Idea but it simply doesn’t put them in a @link tag. A simple trick saves the day: simply create a live template with context ‘Java comment’ like here:

EDIT: The screenshot is missing the word ‘link’. The complete template should be: ‘{@link $LINK$} ‘.

Don’t forget to click on ‘Edit variables’ and fill in ‘complete()’ as Expression. This activates the auto completion for classnames.

Now everytime a @link in the Javadocs is needed we invoke the Live Templates with Alt + J and enter a classname. The @link tag will be build around that name. It’s not as simple as with Eclipse, but works pretty well.
