Description David Uselmann CLA 2004-02-04 15:30:28 EST 
Just as the editor matches braces maybe it could match comment block 
terminators with initiators and visa versa. In addition it could match the 
indentation of the termination with the initiator.

This would be a nice-to-have feature class.

Indentation matching sample only (an indicator matching example is not 
possible):

/*
  some code block
*/

  /*
    some other code block
  */

Move to JDT/UI.

Sort of a hint is already given by syntax coloring: if the comment isn't closed
then the rest of the document is colored like a block comment.

Note: before having visual indication I'd probably like to be able to navigate
between them.
