Apparently, I didn't follow my train of ignorance far enough. I dug up the
syntax table chapter in the emacs lisp manual and found out what a 'b' style
comment is - in c++ (and I assume by extension, java) a b-style comment is the
line comment '//' that I was looking for. So, I could redefine
font-lock-syntactic-face-function
(setq font-lock-syntactic-face-function
(lambda (state)
(if (nth 3 state) font-lock-string-face
(if (nth 7 state) font-lock-other-comment-face
font-lock-comment-face))))
and that should do what I want. Though on first attempt it doesn't seem to.
