Just tried it with the jar file¹ he supplies and it seems to work

Start no tabs:
if foo# comment that is aligned
do some stuff# across multiple indent levels 

Add tabs as leading indents with second line indented 1 tab more
(showing tabs as |)
|if foo# comment that is aligned
||do some stuff# across multiple indent levels 

Indent the first comment with 2 tabs
At this point the first comment is/shows lefter than the second

Indent the second with 1 tab -- the two #es now line up

The invariant of course is clear -- if the total no of tabs in the line
prior to the char are equal then all such lines line up

¹ yeah thats not very secure! And does not work with open java, works with
Sun/Oracle java
