Description brenthale 2002-06-19 20:56:56 UTC 
A good deal of java coding has a space between the star 
(*) and the text of the comment.  The current Java 
Indentation Engine leaves the cursor right next to the 
star after a hard return within a comment.  It would be 
nice if it would also add a space.  Therefore it appears 
to me that an "Add space after Leading Star in Comment" 
option should be provided.  If "False" the behaviour would 
be it is now (The cursor is left at the '|' character:

/**
 *|

Whereas if the value is "True" it would act like this:

/**
 * |
