title: Inline comments in Java: /** opposed to /*?
body: <p>is there a reason i should prefer to write inline-comments in java like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/** Init operation */
  mindControlLaser.engage();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as opposed to use just one *:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* i'm a happy comment */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Eclipse colours the syntax differently, but is there really anything in the "toolchain" (javadoc, eclipse, etc.) giving me an advantage when using /** */ ?</p>
