Subject: Disabling fully qualified class names in JavDoc completion

When using code-completion in JavaDocs (e.g. for a @see attribute), NetBeans always inserts fully qualifed class names for parameters, e.g.

@see #someMethod(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

Is it possible (in 8.2 or 9.0) to disable this, so that the above is written as:

@see #someMethod(String, String)

This is not so much a problem with JDK classes, but with our own classes which tend to have longer package names.

This feature should be configurable using an IDE-level or project-level option flag.
