JDK-6877202 - Elements.getDocComment() is not getting JavaDocComments
Description
failing test: apt/options/Xprint

javac -Xprint does not print out doc comment in source

---simple sourece for foo.java with a couple comments---
g:\ws\bugs]cat foo.java
/**  foo class */
public class foo {
  /** bar method */
  public void bar() { }
}
----Xprint output does not include comments------
g:\ws\bugs]javac -source 1.6 -Xprint foo.java

public class foo {

  public foo();

  public void bar();
}
Comments
EVALUATION This is fixed by 6877202, but will leave open to file a changeset for a test. Minor note: the -Xprint output is midly ugly, and should probably have a space after the * at the beginning of each line. The output from the test program here using the compiler from 6877202 is: /** *foo class */ public class Test { public Test(); /** *bar method */ public void bar(); }
