very good code, but it is not strictly correct. when i run it using CommentStripper.java as input:
cat CommentStripper.java | /opt/java6/bin/java CommentStripper > b.log

The 16th line:
{'"','\'', '/', '*','\\','\n', '?', 0 }, // state index
becomes
{'"','\'', '/, '*','\\','\n', '?', 0 },

it should only remove "//state index", but it also change '/' to '/.

And i tried some other source, below is the result:

#include <sys/stat.h>

becomes
#include <sys/tat.h>
