Description Gualtiero Testa

In a Java editor, having a line like this one

  // this is a comment

and the cursor position is before the word comment, when pressing the enter key the result is the following:

  // this is a 
  comment

It would be nice to have instead the following behaviour:

  // this is a 
  // comment


In other words, breaking a comment line should create a new comment line
