[BLUEJ-526] package comment icon & editor activation in addition to readme.txt
As well as having the text icon in the graphical editor for readme.txt I think it would be useful to have another similar icon for package comments for use by JavaDoc and that clicking these would bring the corresponding file into the text editor.
[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/solaris/javadoc.html#packagecomment] (for the two defined methods)
Such a feature would encourage users/students both to look at this file where it exists and to generate such a file in their own work.
An alternative would be to add a package-info.java type in the new class dialog box (if only that style of package comment were being pursued).
It seems that package-info.java files can't be created in BlueJ and those present it ignores.
My own preference would be to support both methods of package comments and to use the metaphor of notes like as the readme.txt does
Thanks
