Description lleland 2004-08-25 06:46:35 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.5.0 ]

In âOptions | Editing | Editor Settings | Java Editor | Fonts and Colorsâ, we need an additional âJavaDoc commentâ (the â/**  /â style) to differentiate it from the normal block comment â/* */â style.

In properly commented Java code, the JavaDoc comments are used to automatically generate the JavaDoc reference documentation for Users and Developers, while the normal block comments are used to document the source code for Implementers. The ability to style these comments differently would greatly enhance source documentation for Implementers.

Changed subcomponent to settings.
Comment 2 Vitezslav Stejskal 2006-12-05 08:59:50 UTC 
I think it needs to be implemented in java/editor. It should be doable; normal
comments and javadoc comments are different tokens and therefore can have
different colorings.
