Description Chris Webster 2003-05-01 21:56:46 UTC 
Execute the following test program using internal
execution and you will notice that the following
for the comment. The comment should only consist
of the @hello tag and not the null. This problem
seems to be caused by a string concatenation will
a null object.

    /** null
     * @hello
     */    
    public void test(){}

Comment 3 Milan Kubec 2003-05-02 11:11:11 UTC 
Can be reproduced on Nevada build, but also in NetBeans 3.4.1. Happens
only if you call me.getJavaDoc().changeTags() when no javadoc exists. 

The problem can be solved simply by calling:
me.getJavaDoc().setText("");
before me.getJavaDoc().changeTags();

User cannot reproduce using UI. Lowering priority to P3.
