It is not possible no make any XML comments in the Preferences node like:

<preferences EXTERNAL_XML_VERSION="1.0">
  <root type="user">
    <map>
    </map>
    <node name="hlrAgent"> <!-- HLR Agent -->
      <map>
        <entry key="agentName" value="HLRAgent" />
      </map>
    </node>
  </root>
</preferences>

If I import the Preferences with the Command:
// read the preferences from a file
Preferences syspref = Preferences.userRoot();
syspref.importPreferences(new FileInputStream(aXmlFileName));

I get the following error:

    java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.crimson.tree.CommentNode
      java.util.prefs.XmlSupport.ImportSubtree(XmlSupport.java:248)
      java.util.prefs.XmlSupport.ImportSubtree(XmlSupport.java:260)
      java.util.prefs.XmlSupport.importPreferences(XmlSupport.java:198)
      java.util.prefs.Preferences.importPreferences(Preferences.java:1131)
      isa.common.xml.XmlConfig.<init>(Unknown Source)
      isa.common.agent.AgentFramework.init(AgentFramework.java:64)
      isa.hlragent.HLRAgentMain.main(HLRAgentMain.java:60)

Without the XML Comment it is ok.
