Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

If you try to create a javadoc comment above a function header by typing /** <RETURN>, it usually creates a template containing all parameters, exceptions and the return value, so that you only have to fill in these values and can't forget something. However, if there happens to be a comment above the method you only get /** \n * \n */ instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a method and make a one-line comment above that method
2. Try creating a javadoc comment by typing /** <RETURN>
Comment 1 Ayushman Jain CLA 2010-12-02 07:32:57 EST 
Reproduced when the javadoc is being written between the comment and the method declaration.

Moving to JDT/UI for comment.
