Spring roo removes all the comments in the Java files. Any workaround?

[jbbarquero]

Hello:

Spring roo removes all the comments (you know, // for lines and /**/ for blocks) in the Java files whenever a command is executed. It's really annoying.

I presume that keeping the comments is a difficult feature to be implemented. Maybe impossible. But I can raise a JIRA ticket if you think it's feasible.

Apart from using a repository in order to recover the comments from the history, is there any workaround or trick for this issue?

Thanks.

Unfortunately until we move off JavaParser to another type binding library, comments will continue to be stripped off. This is planned for Roo 1.3.
