JDK-7096014 - Javac tokens should retain state
Description
DocCommentScanner can be refactored as a subclass of JavaTokenizer, following the recent refactoring of Scanner.java.
Comments
EVALUATION Java comments should be processed in a pluggable helper class, so that different policies can be put in place - this will be better than relying on subclassing. Helper classes for comments on a token can be stored on a list on the token itself, so that they can be retrieved at a later stage (i.e. by the parser).
