CC Mode 5.28 (Java); The comment fill for auto-fill mode does not work properly when inside Java classes

[Dwayne A. Davis]

When using java-mode with auto-fill enabled (emacs 21.2.1 on Windows2000
Professional), inside a java class the line prefix is not being displayed
properly when using c-style/javadoc style comments within a class.

Below is the exerpt from a file that demonstrates the problem, you can see
the comments are fine until the second javadoc-style comment within the
class:

/*
 * Comments that extend past the fill-column when in auto-fill mode
 * should wrap, as this one has.
 */
public class Foo {
    // Long comments that use the '//' start should wrap as well,
    // which is what this one does.
    /**
     * Javadoc style comments appear to work fine here as well, as we
     * can see in this comment.
     */
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    /**
     * However, this comment does not work; nothing has changed
    except we are farther down in the class...
