Document doc = ...;
List comments = doc.selectNodes( "//comment()" );
for (Iterator iter = comments.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Comment comment = (Comment) iter.next();
comment.detach();
}
If you're using a SAX parser to create the Document in the first place then
it'll be more efficient to just filter out the SAX comment events. I've just
patched the code in CVS so that you can easily filter out comments when
parsing documents.
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
reader.setIgnoreComments(true);
Document doc = reader.read( "foo.xml" );
