RFE: Please add nested /* */ comments

Name: rlT66838 Date: 08/06/99


Currently, it is very tedious to comment out large block of Java code because both javadoc headers and multi-line comments do not nest. For example, it is impossible to easily comment out several javadoc'd methods because the javadoc headers are treated as comments.

So, for example, the following block would be legal, commented code:

/*
  /**
   * My method does X
   *
   */
  public void doX()
  {
     doXWayOne();
     /*
     doXWayTwo();
     doXWayThree();
     */
  }
*/
