Description rudyment 2007-08-30 08:17:43 UTC 
The new version brings a plenty of possibilities for syntax highlighting, but forget for one relatively important: to 
allow distinguishing the standard comment (its equal if it is one-line or multi-line) and a javadoc comment. I think it 
will be useful to allow to set a special highlighting for a javadoc comments.
Comment 1 rudyment 2007-08-30 08:32:45 UTC 
Now it is possible to set only the highlighting of the javadoc tags but not the whole javadoc comments.
Comment 2 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-08-31 11:27:29 UTC 
Why do you need to distinguish them? CCing Jano and Stepan who the ui gurus behind the overhaul in editor colors for nb6.

I want to suggest this is a feature worth adding. The problem is you get the options set just right to for you Java Doc comments, then your non-Java Doc comments look poor.  

It seems to me since there are eight categories for formatting in NetBeans 7.1 breaking out Comments to Java Doc comments and non-Java Doc comments would not add much confusion to the interface.  

Thanks
