unfortunately, In my previous PR the config in the PR description was missing some important checks, so the report generated shows no difference but this was misleading.

After I checked a report in another PR (that was behind my commit on master). I saw the real diff due to my changes and analyzed the report all was good except for this case and the like

Example:

D:\CS\test
cat config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC
        "-//Checkstyle//DTD Checkstyle Configuration 1.3//EN"
        "https://checkstyle.org/dtds/configuration_1_3.dtd">
<module name="Checker">
    <module name="TreeWalker">
        <module name="JavadocVariable"/>
    </module>
</module>

D:\CS\test
cat src/Test.java
class Test {
    /**
     *  Javadoc
     */
    /* package */ int x;

    int y;
}
D:\CS\test
java  -jar checkstyle-10.22.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar -c config.xml src/Test.java
Starting audit...
Audit done.

The issue because we skipped the line /* package */ int x; because it has a block comment. so int y becomes associated with the Javadoc above int x.

The fix should be simple. A simple condition to see if the block comment is in a single line and not alone in the line
then we should not skip it.
