Syntax highlight is not working correctly for multiline comments

[ablekhman]

The syntax highlight is not working correctly for multiline Java comments:

/**
 * @some_tag text text
 * more multiline text 
 * ...
 */

In the case above all lines, except the first one (/**), are not recognised as comments. As a result, syntax highlight is applied to comments as if they are valid code lines.

This is a known limitation of how the extension works. Each line is highlighted individually and it not aware of the surrounding context.

Theoretically it would be possible to fix but I feel it's not worth the effort.
