Eclipse formatter adds space in empty comment lines

Viewed 14524

The eclipse code formatter adds a trailing space in each empty Javadoc comment line (see screenshot).

enter image description here

The formatter of a colleague is always removing those spaces (and thus producing annoying SVN diffs). He is claiming to use the same formatter settings (XML file). Nevertheless, I tried all the options in the comments tab of the formatter settings page - without success.

Can it be a difference between eclipse versions? (I am using Springsource Tool Suite 2.7.1, which is based on Helios, I believe)
