Single Line Comments can Break Editor

A single line javadoc comment will prevent the editor
from opening up with a "Failed to create part" error
message dialog. Example:

/** This is a comment */
private string yada yada yada

The log files says:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.runtime 4 2 Oct 11, 2004
10:05:32.360
!MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from

This is using 1.0.5a version of the plugin.
