(Sorry if this one is dupe, searched summary for "Java Line Comment" and was no ocurrence at all) In NB 6.0, the Java Line Comment color setting (under fonts & colors) is missing. This has been on NB for a long time, and my team considers a best practice to use single line comments as important statements in the code, so they used to be on BOLD-RED. Unlike block comments, which are a general explanation for a block of code, line comments are more than important and thus we should have the option to change their appereance as a separate entity, instead of having them as same level as Comment or Block Comment. /** General description for method * ... more doc */ public void foo() { ...do stufff //time-consumpting task! bar(); ...do stufff } private void bar() { wait(5L*1000); } Above, we want "//time-consumpting task!" to be in bold / red while keeping block (/**... */) comments "inherited".
Reassigning to "editor".
