what is the /** comment? what's the difference between that and /* ?

Take a look here (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/index.html)

Those documents are generated by a tool called javadoc. It comes with the SDK. The /** comment indicates to the javadoc tool that it should use that comment in the html document it generates.

Look around sun's site for exactly how to use it.

/** is generally used for documentation comments. Comments about who wrote the code what the app does, etc...

/* and // are generally used as regular comments, such as what a specific line of code does.

Example

/**
* Application Name: MyApp
* Designed By: Me
* 12/12/2000
*/

system.out.println("Hello World") // prints Hello World to the screen

/* The following line prints Hello World to the screen */
system.out.println("Hello World")
