Enable Code Folding in Eclipse with Coffee Bytes

The Coffee-Bytes plugin by Alex Popescu can add folding functionality to Eclipse IDE.

download link is here.

the .zip file should contain a “com.cb.eclipse.folding” folder. extract it to “eclipse\plugins”, so you should have now a “c:\eclipse\plugins\com.cb.eclipse.folding\” folder with several files inside.

Start Eclipse.

Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Folding Change to CoffeBytes

Enable User Defined Regions

Set your user defined region

You’ll probably have to reload (close and reopen) any editor windows, and it’s ready. use it like:

`// {{ folded region name

code here

// }}`
