It's stretching things to call this a bug, but it can cause confusion and dismay so it perhaps needs attention?
If you have a /* style comment at the end of your program which is never terminated, it does sho-nuff give you the correct error message "unterminated /* comment" - but that error message is immediately chased off the screen a few miles north by a great shoal of Java run time errors of various kinds.
When (due to my own stupidity) I got this problem, I at first thought that something in my machine was corrupted or trashed. Of course, eventually I climbed up the ladder to the top of the error list, and found my mistake, but I wonder is there any way to suppress those Java errors to make the root cause more clear?
