add comments like this:
/* comment */

If you comment with "//", you will comment out all your code, since it's formating code in 1 line only.

You can try this:
Inside transition, where js goes, include js script from the repository (example: my_wf_logic.js). In that script, create a function, and call that from here.
You can pass arguments to function, like attached document to workflow etc. (see example).

Inside my_wf_logic.js, you can write js code as you usually do, you don't have to worry about <,>, &, and comments.
This breaks only because of xml parser when deploying processdefinition.

Example:


<transition name="Go" to="end" >
      <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
   <runas>admin</runas>
   <script>
      &lt;import resource="/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/my_wf_logic.js"&gt;
      someFunction(bpm_package.children[0]);
   </script>
      </action>
</transition>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Later on, it easy to debug this using js debugger, or just looking at console logs.
