I noticed that in Eclipse when I use

/*
 * My Comment
 */
public class myClass {

}

“My Comment” does not associate with the class but

/**
 * My Comment
 */
public class myClass {

}

“My Comment” does

Similarly

/** myComment */
public static final String MY_VARIABLE = "testing";

also associates with the javadoc.

Is this a Eclipse thing or part of the java documenting system.

Should I always use /** as opposed to /* ?

    /* My Comment */    is usually used for making a comment block.
    
    /** MyComment */    is usually used for documentation purposes, such as desribing variables and things like that.
