Adding a separator to the Eclipse Outline view (like #pragma mark)

Question

I know Xcode has a

#pragma mark  

feature where it allows you to insert arbitrary labels in outline views / method lists to document how code is segmented.

I haven't been able to find a similar feature for Eclipse. I can't help but feel that it's right under my nose, but searches on both SO and Google haven't been enlightening... anyone know how I might do this?

Or is there some hackish workaround? That would be awesome too.

Eclipse outline view supports categories (with @category in javadoc) for showing additional information on methods. See the following screenshots for an example of such usage.

Unfortunately grouping by categories has not been implemented yet. There is an open feature request for this, but it is nearly four years old and clearly stated that it needs community effort. Personally I do not know such plugin.
