Comments
The Java programming language supports three kinds of comments.
Type of comments
/* text */
The compiler ignores everything from /* to */.
/** documentation */
This indicates a documentation comment (doc comment, for short). The compiler ignores this kind of comment, just like it ignores comments that use /* and */. The javadoc tool uses doc comments when preparing automatically generated documentation. For more information on javadoc, see the JavadocTM tool documentation .
text ===
The compiler ignores everything from // to the end of the line.
