title: Eclipse formatter adds space in empty comment lines
body: <p>The eclipse code formatter adds a trailing space in each empty Javadoc comment line (see screenshot). </p>

  <p>The formatter of a colleague is always removing those spaces (and thus producing annoying SVN diffs). He is claiming to use the same formatter settings (XML file). Nevertheless, I tried all the options in the comments tab of the formatter settings page - without success.</p>
  
  <p>Can it be a difference between eclipse versions? (I am using Springsource Tool Suite 2.7.1, which is based on Helios, I believe)</p>
