Summary: autoIndent aligns with javadoc *

Initial Comment:
If I'm typing a Java file, and I enter a Javadoc,
followed by a class or method declaration, when I press
<enter> on the line, it indents to the * on the
javadoc. Example:

I type:
<pre>
/**
 * javadoc comment
 */
public class MyClass {
</pre>


Jedit automatically indents to:
<pre>
/**
 * javadoc comment
 */
 public class MyClass {
</pre>


inserting the space at the beginning of the line. This
is quite annoying.

Workaround:
comment out these two lines
<pre>
&lt;PROPERTY NAME="indentOpenBrackets" VALUE="{" /&gt;
&lt;PROPERTY NAME="indentCloseBrackets" VALUE="}" /&gt;
</pre>

in the java mode file. However, this disables the other
features of autoindent.

Message:
This is an old bug, but one that I've also run into and am not sure how to
classify. Technically speaking, it's not a bug; the indentation of each
line is determined by that of the line before it, which results in the
space being preserved.

As far as I can tell, the only way to really fix this would be to change
the indent behavior, by either forcing an alignment or by adding special
support for comment headers. This might be a little difficult to do, though
I'll probably look into it soon.

Now, that I got this tracker item via Mail, there are some leading spaces
to see:

Original, there was leading spaces only before the javadoc. "public class
MyClass " was typed without any leading spaces. But at the time I type "{"
this line is indented like the preceeding javadoc. It's not expected, is
it?.

I can't see what You mean. 
I guess the text You typed has been re-formatted and has become unclear.
HTML tags are not recognized here in the tracker.
