You want less cumbersome syntax and you are trying to write an Emacs
mode in lisp?  ;-)

Sorry, couldn't resist.  I write java a lot and have never used the
java-mode that comes with Emacs.  I instead use the JDEE (java
development environment for Emacs ) Google knows where it is.  There
are many functions prefixed jde-javadoc which are great at generating
javadoc.  You could probably look there.

I think borrowing would be best in this case as jde is kinda heavy to
include, although its great for java development.

I'm thinking anything with jde-javadoc in front of it.

Probably, like I said, java developer.  We don't do elegant.  :-P
