Is there any way to manually create fold points in code in Eclipse? I know how to enable folding and how to set the auto preferences, but i like being able to set my own fold points so I can ignore certain parts of my code. Think regions in VS.
I know there is in VS and NetBeans, but I cannot find a way to set manual fold points in Eclipse.
I don't think Eclipse has built in manual folding, but I did use a previous version of the following plugin for it.
Per the comment: The plugin has been recompiled for Eclipse 3.5 and is available at the Apache Isis site. A direct download link is also available. It also appears to work for Eclipse 3.6.
The coffee bytes folding plug-in for eclipse is still alive. But the pages have moved.
An Overview and how to get it can be found here.
I've installed it in eclipse using the update page.
In Eclipse go to Help -> Install new Software
Enter: eclipse.realjenius.com/update-site
Select the plugin and follow on-screen instruction.
I'm still pretty new to eclipse development and had to install mylyn before installing the code folding plugin.
I'm new to Eclipse, but since the IDE lets you fold preprocessor directives, you can just do "#if 1 .... #endif" to effectively set up manual folding.
No, eclipse does not have any option to provide manual folding plugins.
