Description Martin Petricek CLA 2007-06-01 08:49:09 EDT 
In C++/Code style in options, you can select a code style for various elements, with some predefined default styles. 

However, when I start typing comments in C++ code, eclipse autoindents the comment to this format:
/*
 * Line 1
 * Line 2
 */
(Adding extra " * " on start of each line)

But I use formatting like this in all my source code:
/*
 Line 1
 Line 2
*/

I found no option to change code style for comments, so they will be autoformatted according to my style when I start typing them.

I think it may be convenient to add feature to alter formatting of comments
