How to mark logical sections of code in Java comments?

Question

Java classes are generally divided into logical \"blocks\". Is there a convention to mark these sections? Ideally, it would be supported by the major IDEs.

I personally

Answer 1

Using unnecessary comments/markers in the code to help working may not be a good practice. I have little idea about xcode and java development but all major IDE's support finding the members with out any special markers like eclipse shows the methods and members using outline view which can be triggered using ctrl+O, Intellij (which I prefer using more on mac and had a community edition too) has the same outline concept and can be quickly accessed using (ctrl + f12). So my point here is don't use any unnecessary mark up in the code as all (or atleast good/sane) IDE's can do it automatically.
