Description christoph schwitter 2004-06-30 02:55:31 EDT

After repeatedly formatting the following javadoc comment
    /**
     * <pre> 
     *  This is an example precondition comment that is longer than 80 
     *  characters and therefore normally split.  
     * </pre>
     */
more and more useless lines between the <pre> and the condition are added.
    /**
     * <pre>
     * 
     *  
     *    
     *     This is an example precondition comment that is longer than 80 
     *     characters and therefore normally split.  
     *    
     *   
     *  
     * </pre>
     */
