Description deleted-account deleted-account CLA 2013-07-28 08:53:53 EDT
Having the following code in a method:

        // I'm the first comment, so I'm save.
        // I am a comment fearing for my life!
        // This is the end!
        @SuppressWarnings("unused") String string = "";
        System.out.println(string);

I correctly get a "Unnecessary @SuppressWarnings("unused")" warning.
Using the quick fix to remove the annotation results in:

        // I'm the first comment, so I'm save.
        String string = "";
        System.out.println(string);

Hence, all but the first line of comments are removed.
C-style comments don't seem to be affected.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
