A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If I try to use HTML text on a JLabel, but my text (after the "<html>") begins with a Java comment, no text appears until after the first HTML tag.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
; cat test.java
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
f.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("<html>// this won't appear <font color=red>but this will</font> which is odd."), BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setSize(400, 400);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
; javac test.java && java test
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
A label saying "// this won't appear but this will which is odd.".
A label saying "but this will which is odd.".
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
f.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("<html>// this won't appear <font color=red>but this will</font> which is odd.</html>"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setSize(400, 400);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
If you say "<html><body>// this won't...", then it works as expected. If this
is how it's supposed to behave, then the documentation (and tutorial!) needs to make this clear.
