Customize newline-and-indent function

Question

I'd like to extends this function to work as usual in most cases but if current line starts with * then it should indent and then insert *. Particularly i want to use it in multi line comments, i.e:

/**
  * multiline comment
  */

So when i press Ret, while writing a comment, it would add *.

This doesn't answer your question, but if you just write one long line and then hit M-q the comment will be broken into several lines in the appropriate way. — Malabarba, Nov 12 '14 at 16:46

I think the command you want to use is comment-indent-new-line which is normally bound to M-j.

Unfortunately it doesn't insert *, is there any way to fix this? – 4lex1v Nov 12 '14 at 15:32
It does when I test it with emacs -Q ~/tmp/foo.c and type /** RET * foo M-j so you'll need to give more details about your setup to figure out why it doesn't work for you. – Stefan Nov 12 '14 at 17:32
Probably i should, it works for C, but i'm interested in scala-mode2 – 4lex1v Nov 12 '14 at 17:37
Then you should report the problem to the scala-mode2 maintainers. – Stefan Nov 12 '14 at 19:08
