Description Matt CLA 2003-02-11 18:17:58 EST 
Putting "//" on the last line of a file produces an "Unexpected end of comment" 
syntax error.
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-02-12 05:18:26 EST 
The JLS explicitely states this behavior. 1.4 compilers are correctly reporting 
a line comment not ending with a line separator.

Either change the compiler compliance back to 1.3, or add a line separator at 
the end of the comment.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-02-21 09:17:29 EST 
We now tolerate unterminated line comments since the spec just changed (see bug 
32476).
