Description Petr Slegr 2000-09-18 16:49:12 UTC 
Let have method with empty javadoc comment like this:

   /**
    *
    */
   void method (int num) {
   ....
   }

Via Javadoc property editor or Auto Comment tool insert comment for
the num parameter only i.e. @param tag only.

Description for this tag must be at least on two lines.

After that you got something similar:

/**
 * @param num first_line_of_comment
 * second_line
 */ * void method (int num) {
......

It is uncompilable.
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2001-01-24 15:30:59 UTC 
Only changed version to Development.
Comment 2 Jan Chalupa 2001-03-12 10:35:41 UTC 
Version: 'Dev' -> 3.2
Comment 3 David Konecny 2001-04-04 14:15:50 UTC 
After discussion with Svata it looks that the problem is in his module. The 
AutoComment returns most probably comments with CRLF and this is not handled 
correctly in Java module.

If inserted comment has much more than two lines the behaviour is even worse - 
some characters after the JavaDoc comment are simply overwritten.
Comment 4 Svata Dedic 2001-04-04 16:08:43 UTC 
*PLEASE* do NOT use system dependent line separators, if you don't have to.
There are numerous places within the IDE that do their own parsing/analysis and
the more or less suppose that lines are separated by \n
Comment 5 Svata Dedic 2001-04-04 18:35:08 UTC
