Description Nick CLA 2004-09-09 12:18:27 EDT 
/*
       A B D G
alpha  x
beta     x
delta      x
gamma        x
*/

When I format the code, the first line of the comment, which contains the column
headers, is suddenly left justified to start on the same column as the rest of
the comment.

I had specifically told the code formatter not to format comments at all.

There were no messages in the .log file.
Comment 4 Nick CLA 2004-09-16 10:19:01 EDT 
This will also cause 

/*
    alpha
        beta
            delta
                gamma
*/

to be reformatted as
/*
alpha
beta
delta
gamma
*/

The code will move to the normal indent level for code of that block level, but any indent formatting 
already done to this data is ignored.
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2004-09-17 08:19:25 EDT 
Just to confirm: I see a space in front of alpha, beta,... after formatting.
This happens when comment formatting is off.
Comment 6 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-09-17 16:03:35 EDT 
This will be fixed when reviewing the formatting of comments.

comment #6 .. when is that?
Comment 9 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-11-25 09:56:11 EST 
Don't know yet. This will be done when retrieving all the comment formatting
done by JDT/UI. Right now we are busy on the 1.5 front.
A workaround is to add '*' in front of each line of your comment.

What is missing? Christof said everything has been prepared to be adopted isn't
that true?
Comment 11 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-11-25 10:36:27 EST 
What is missing? Time.
This will be on the list when 1.5 is behind us. I guess. For now this is not on
the M4 plan.
I was not aware that the transition from JDT/UI to JDT/Core was ready.
Comment 12 paul stanton CLA 2004-11-25 21:09:17 EST 
comment #9 .. this is not a work around. i use /* ... */ to comment out blocks
of code. i don't think i'll be adding * before each of 100 lines of code.

time for a review?
Comment 15 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:19:11 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
