Description Channing Walton

I have some javadoc that somehow ended up like this:

/**
     * ssdfsd f
     * sd fsd fd 
     */

The formatter doesn't correct this to

/**
 * ssdfsd f
 * sd fsd fd 
 */

Is the javadoc indented properly before formatting the code? If not, I don't see
why the formatter would do it. The user might want to leave the javadoc as is.
You don't even have to put '*' at the beginning of each line, so why the
formatter would take care of that?
I agree that the indentation has to be preserved during the formatting.

ok, I didn't realise that the indentation of the '*' was ok. I had assumed that
they were meant to line up vertically. 

Perhaps this could be a feature request for a new preference ?

We need to clear 2.1 bug reports that won't be addressed before 2.1. The new 
implementation is still in the works. Therefore we cannot include it for 2.1. 
Not enough testing and we need to polish the preferences. This will be address 
for 2.2 as stated in the JDT/Core plan.

This is addressed in the new formatter.
Fixed and released in HEAD.
