Lines to be commented      NB  multiline comments like this DO NOT NEST  This can be the source of errors  It is generally better to just comment every line with     Most IDEs allow you to do this quite simply

You could use    begin comment and end it with     Or you can simply use    across each line  not recommended      Here is an article you could of read that tells you all about how to comment on multiple lines too     http   java sun com docs codeconv html CodeConventions doc4 html  1

As  kgrad says        does not nest and can cause errors  A better answer is      LINE  of code  I WANT COMMENTED     LINE  of code  I WANT COMMENTED     LINE  of code  I WANT COMMENTED    Most IDEs have a single keyboard command for doing undoing this  so there s really no reason to use the other style any more  For example  in eclipse  select the block of text and hit Ctrl   To undo that type of comment  use Ctrl    UPDATE  The Sun coding convention says that this style should not be used for block text comments      Using the slash-slash    style of comment as shown    in this paragraph of non-code text is     against the coding convention    but    can be used 3 other ways    A single line comment A comment at the end of a line of code Commenting out a block of code

The simple question to your answer is already answered a lot of times      LINES I WANT COMMENTED LINES I WANT COMMENTED LINES I WANT COMMENTED     From your question it sounds like you want to comment out a lot of code   I would advise to use a repository git github  to manage your files instead of commenting out lines  My last advice would be to learn about javadoc if not already familiar because documenting your code is really important

STUFF HERE       or you can use    on every line   Below is what is called a JavaDoc comment which allows you to use certain tags   return   param  etc     for documentation purposes               COMMENTED OUT STUFF HERE      AND HERE          More information on comments and conventions can be found here
