Build Identifier: 20120216-1857

If a closing HTML tag such has "</b>" inside Javadoc content occurs at the very end of a line the formatter will insert a line break and '*' character after the '<' character. That invalidates the tag and screws up the HTML rendering.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set the Formatter profile to "Eclipse [built-in]". Format the attached test file. Notice the line break is inserted in the wrong place in line 11. The line break should be before the '<' character.

This problem no longer occurs after the formatter redesign.
