How to enable comment folding in Eclipse PDT?


How to enable code folding of comments for PHP scripts in Eclipse?

I have a lot of code of which the first 30 lines of every script is a GNU license... very annoying.

This seems to be somehow broken in Helios but worked by default, out of the box in Ganymede.


Solution

  • I correct myself the PHPDoc option folds all multi-line comments.

    Note: Once enabled you have to close and reopen your file to have all the comment blocks folded.

    E.g.

    /**
     * This is a function that does something
     *
     * @param $a Some variable
     */
    function doesSomething($a) {
    }
    

    ends up like this

     * This is a function that does something
    function doesSomething($a) {
    }
