Making Eclipse's Java code formatter ignore block comments

Question

Is there a way to make Eclipse\'s built-in Java code formatter ignore comments? Whenever I run it, it turns this:

    /*
     * PSEUDOCODE
     * Read in us         


        

Answer 1

one workaround is to add pre tag for the comments that you don't want eclipse to format

/**
 * 
 *    this part
 *   is
 *      out of
 *  format
 *    
 * 
 */
