javadoc comments are just an auto-comment feature that supports the javadoc tool for generating html documentation. There are some predefined macros set up for use with c/c++/java files to generate these comments.
I am not sure what I changed. THere was an existing macro or function somewhere called javadoc-comments, and when I saved a macro with the same name, I must have overwritten it. I deleted my user defined macro, but the original still does not work.
Ohhh it looked like reloading 'codehelp.e' worked!
Cheers
