Comment lexing error

[Jesper Öqvist]

ExtendJ 8.0.1-g25ae2d5

There is an error in the scanning of multiline comments causing some empty comments to extend too far. For example:

public class Test {
  /**/
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Test();
  }

  /**/
  public Test() {
  }
}

The main method is removed in the above class.

The error seems to be caused by the documentation comment regex in ExtendJ:

DocumentationComment = "/**" ~"*/"

This lexes the whole /**/.../**/ part as a single documentation comment.

[Jesper Öqvist]

The fix is to simply change the regex to the following:

DocumentationComment = "/**" [^/] ~"*/"

Fix documentation comment regex

Fixed an error in the documentation comment regex which caused some comments to eat up too many input tokens.
