Description Oyvind Harboe CLA 2005-11-04 03:38:31 EST 
Just like import statements can be collapsed (clicking on the '+' in the margin
will expand them), it would be useful to collapse:

- abstract method declarations
- field declarations

When working with certain types of technologies(e.g. Tapestry
http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/), abstract method declarations are used
extensively. A plugin(Spindle) even added a "Add abstract method QuickFix". :-)

Assuming Øyvind refers to the folding in the editor.

Yes.

This issue is related to the larger issue of:

hm - folding usually leaves one line (the so called "caption line") in the
document as summary of the folded region. Now, folding an abstract method
declaration won't buy you much, as these are already on a single line in most
cases...

For field declarations, I assume you want to collapse all fields in one
contiguous block (not field by field).

Valid request, albeit not very high priority.
