Description tomzi 2005-06-02 11:25:55 UTC

If I copy/paste larger blocks into a javadoc section it would be helpful if
leading * would be added into the pasted section.

Comment 1 tomzi 2006-01-17 10:07:00 UTC

Alternatively:

-) A suggestion could be displayed:
   . add leading asterisk (*)
   . ignore
-) CTRL-D (Add leading //) could be enhanced to be context sensitive. So leading 
   asterisk could be added in the cursor is within a javadoc (/**) or a general 
   comment (/*).

Of course Ctrl-Shift D is meant above not Ctrl-D :)

It should be possible via Edit/Paste Formatted but it requires a javadoc formatter. Making dependency on issue #60941.
