When IDL contains javadoc style comments, idltojava gets confused and
refuses to compile. C style and C++ style comments are OK.

Test IDL file follows.


/** Test.idl */
module Test
{
interface a ;
interface a
    {
        long GetAuthorizer( );
    };
};


biko:vkasa> idltojava -fserver Test.idl
Test.idl:2: syntax error
Test.idl:14: syntax error
idltojava: aborted due to earlier errors

If you remove the second star in the comment line, then this IDL
compiles OK.

Javadoc style comment make idltojava compiler to find errors
My IDL file contains some comment, in Javadoc style : /** ... */(I would use the idldoc utility to generate HTML documentation from my IDL file) the Java idl compiler send syntax errors on those comment.
If I use /* ... */ style comment, idltojava work well, but my idldoc utility doesn't...
The JDK that I use, is 1.2.1.
idlj compiler work fine on my IDL file, but doesn't generate the same classes (*Operations instead of _*Operations) and I don't want to change all my code for this.
