Robert Scholte commented on QDOX-146:
-------------------------------------
I've had a look at the lexer and I think it's a bit too complecated right now.
Why not read per line instead of per word? Everything after a
javaDocComment-linestart can be copied as it is, remaining spaces, asterisks,
etc.
The only reason I can think of is detecting doclet-tags.
For the doclet case you could use javaDocComment-linestart followed by an '@',
push state and read until the space and pop back.
Are there cases which won't fit this strategy?
If this seems solid enough, then most lexer-tests specific for javadocs have to
be rewritten. Any ideas?

> Project: QDox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Java API, Parser
> Affects Versions: 1.6.3
> Reporter: Grégory Joseph
> Priority: Minor
>
> As per the dev-list, it might be useful, in some cases, to preserve
> whitespace in javadoc comments:

> Since it is not *always* desired, I'd suggest adding a method and/or
> parameter so that users can get one or the other as they see fit.
> I've tried looking into the source to see where this was happening, but
> haven't been able to locate it precisely.
