JDL - Comments not ignored

[ricardocosta]

Comments made with //are not being ignored (jhipster-uml 1.6.0).

The following content of the domain.jh file:

enum ValidationType {
    REQUIRED, NOT_EMPTY, MAX, MIN, REGEX
}

// Validation to apply on a Field
// entity FieldValidation {
//     type ValidationType
//     required Boolean
//     notEmpty Boolean
//     maxValue Integer
//     minValue Integer
//     regex String
// }

Produces this error when running jhipster-uml domain.jh:

Expected "entity" or a space but "/" found.
SyntaxError: Expected "entity" or a space but "/" found.

    at startup (node.js:141:18)

Removing the commented lines, the output is:
No entity has to be generated.

Also, why can't the enums be generated even if there are no entities yet?

Best regards.

This is a bug... I'll fix it some time tomorrow. Thanks for reporting it!

The bug is fixed (with some delay, sorry about that) and the comments should be properly ignored from now on.
Also, you can't generate an enum alone as it is a type. You must create an entity to have an enum.
