What I would like to see is an option in the formatter in which I can tick whether or not the formatter should create the JavaDoc skeleton if a component was not documented yet.

Basically the functionality is already there in the editor (Press /** and then enter and the skeleton is generated).

I would like to be able to do this when I format the code. This way it makes it easier for the developers to write their Javadoc so that they don't forget this.

Reproducible: Always

The formatter doesn't add new code. It only manages the whitespaces.
What you are asking can easily be done as a Save action. On save, all missing javadocs could be added.
Closing as INVALID.
