What code folding plugins work on Eclipse 3.6?

Question

I am new to java development environment and I find it difficult to manage my code properly. .Net provides the #regions which is a good solution for code management.

I am using Eclipse environment for java development. I tried the Coffee-Bytes but the Coffee-Bytes code folding is not working in Eclipse 3.6, at least on my side. I have configured it following this, but it does not work. Can someone guess what can be the issue? is there some other code folding plugin for Eclipse?

Answer 1

For what it's worth, check my answer to this post to make it work in 3.7 (Indigo)

[Copy-paste with some edits:]

The Coffee Bytes plugin is mentioned is no longer available at the referred locations. But, it seems that Bartosz Kosarzycki has posted an updated version yesterday [=Sunday, December 4, 2011]:

Answer 2

I found out that this Coffee bytes works in Helios. After I try to install it in my helios and disable and enable the folding. It works like a charm.

Just ask me of the details if you can't make it work.

UPDATED For Helios

Again like the other answer suggested follow this link and the steps provided

http://kosiara87.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-install-coffee-bytes-plugin-in.html

then in your java editor, right click on the left edge where the options that include Folding will appear, and select disable folding.Right after, select enable folding. Thats it! I am using Helios and coffee bytes is working!

Send me your feedback if still not working.

I am not sure what #region is, but if you are looking for something that will allow you to see blocks of code and you would like to see where a particular block starts and ends easily, I would recommend the editbox plugin. You can use along with the eclipse code folding to get the best out of eclipse. The Edit box plugin is here:

For making good use of the edit box, download a theme from here:
