Description tomzi 2005-06-02 11:25:55 UTC 
If I copy/paste larger blocks into a javadoc section it would be helpful if
leading * would be added into the pasted section.
Comment 1 tomzi 2006-01-17 10:07:00 UTC 
Alternatively:

-) A suggestion could be displayed:
   . add leading asterisk (*)
   . ignore
-) CTRL-D (Add leading //) could be enhanced to be context sensitive. So leading 
   asterisk could be added in the cursor is within a javadoc (/**) or a general 
   comment (/*).
Comment 2 tomzi 2006-01-17 10:15:08 UTC 
Of course Ctrl-Shift D is meant above not Ctrl-D :)
Comment 3 Jan Pokorsky 2007-10-24 14:56:23 UTC 
It should be possible via Edit/Paste Formatted but it requires a javadoc formatter. Making dependency on issue #60941.
