What code folding plugins work on Eclipse 3.6?

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

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]:

Code folding plugin for Eclipse?

Try to use: http://code.google.com/p/coffee-bytes/

You have to download the source code, import project into Eclipse and build it. After that Export code as a deployable plug-in for Eclipse. You will have a package for installation.

1. Install it into Eclipse.
2. Go To Eclipse Preferences...
3. Type in search "Folding"
4. Select Java->Editor->Folding
5. Select in ComboBox
   "Coffee Bytes Java Folding"
6. On General Tab set checkbox - "User
   Defined Regions"
7. In User Defined Regions tab - enter #region as a
   start tag and #endregion as an end tag

In code folding will be available after setting special comments into it:

// #region
... some code ...
// #endregion

eclipse manual code folding similar to visual studio region

I use eclipse Coffee-Bytes plugin over a year. This eclipse folding plugin can be configured so that it was identical to visual studio folding. Lock this and this. Hope it's help you.

Coffee-Bytes code folding with Eclipse Neon

(I don't have access/ability to test this at the moment, but it should work like this. Please feel free to write your own answer if you get to a solution that is not as I have outlined.)

Unzip the offline installer, you should end up with something like this:

offline.zip
offline_unzipped_name/
   features/
       feature.jar (may be more than one)
   plugins/
       plunin.jar (may be more than one)

Copy the offline_unzipped_name folder in its entirety to the dropins/ folder in Eclipse.

However you should (if possible) always install new software into Eclipse with the Install New Software menu item. This will ensure that the plug-ins have all their required dependencies.

Of course as the link you have provided is ~5 years old, it could be that the plug-ins themselves simply don't work with Neon as you suggested.

Is there any way to manually fold code in Eclipse?

I don't think Eclipse has built in manual folding, but I did use a previous version of the following plugin for it.

Per the comment: The plugin has been recompiled for Eclipse 3.5 and is available at the Apache Isis site. A direct download link is also available. It also appears to work for Eclipse 3.6.

If I understood you well, Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Folding -> Comments is what you want.

Custom Java Code Folding for Eclipse Helios

You can try this one - http://incubator.apache.org/isis/ide-support.html
It claims to be working on Eclipse 3.5, so there is a chance it will work on 3.6/3.7 (you will have to try).
Hope that helps!
