[Compare] Javadoc not as smart as editor [message #468277]

I hit this scenario a lot when I am ensuring I have proper comments in my code before I check it in.

1. Compare Java source file with repository
2. Notice the class is missing a multi-line comment
3. Alt-Shift-J on the class to generate a comment
4. Navigate to the first asterisk and press Enter

Expected result: It would go to the next line, but put an asterisk in there for me so that it's still a "proper" multi-line comment. This is what the Java editor does.

Actual result: It just creates a blank line and puts me in the first column; not indented and no asterisk.

I know JDT compare was improved in 3.5. Is this a new problem or just an additional candidate for enhancement?

Cheers
Ben
