What have you tried exactly? In c.lang the comments are described like
this:

    <property name="line-comment-start">//</property>
    <property name="block-comment-start">/*</property>
    <property name="block-comment-end">*/</property>

If it doesn't work for Julia, please report a bug on bugzilla.

In the meantime I think it's possible to re-implement the comments with
a <context>, so you can define the priority.

Best regards,
Sébastien
