While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

To remove all comments in IntelliJ IDEA, you can use the built-in "Code Cleanup" feature. Follow these steps:

  1. Open your Java file in IntelliJ IDEA.
  2. Go to the "Code" menu at the top of the IDE.
  3. Select "Reformat Code" or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + L for Windows/Linux or Cmd + Option + L for macOS).
  4. In the "Reformat Code" dialog box, make sure the "Optimize imports" and "Reformat code" options are checked.
  5. Click on the "Manage..." button next to the "Reformat code" option.
  6. In the "Profile settings" dialog box, go to the "Comments" tab.
  7. Uncheck all options under this tab, such as "Keep line comments at first column", "Keep block comments on empty lines", etc.
  8. Click on OK to close all dialog boxes.

This will remove all comments from your Java code in IntelliJ IDEA.

For NetBeans IDE, there is no built-in feature to remove comments directly. However, you can use a regular expression search and replace functionality to achieve this.

  1. Open your Java file in NetBeans IDE.
  2. Press Ctrl + F (or Command + F on macOS) to open the Find dialog box.
  3. In the Find dialog box, click on the "^$" button next to the search field to enable regular expression mode.
  4. Enter "/*.?*/|//.?$" (without quotes) in the search field to match both block and line comments.
  5. Leave the replace field empty or enter a space if you want to preserve line numbers.
  6. Click on Replace All button.

This will remove all block and line comments from your Java code in NetBeans IDE.

Note: Before performing any automated removal of comments, make sure you have a backup of your code in case you accidentally remove something important.
