Syntax highlighting bug with Javadoc in method? [message #257523] Thu, 20 November 2008 11:58 Go to next message

By default the Java editor syntax highlighter colors Javadoc comments blue
and multi-line comments green. I've noticed that if you start a multi-line
comment inside a method body with "/**" then the editor still colors it
green, even though Javadoc doesn't process comments inside message bodies.

Is this a bug or is it working as designed? If it is a bug, has it already
been reported? I searched on Bugzilla and couldn't find anything.

Whoops. I meant that the comment inside the method gets colored BLUE, not
green. I would expect it to be green.

This is a known issue: to be faster the scanner doesn't check whether it
is inside a method or not: /** simply starts a Javadoc partition.
