I'm sure you get one of these requests per day. I used the search feature (not very effectively).

I use the CDT every day, and I love it. It's great. Someone else I work with uses emacs, and they have these things to segment their code:

// {{{ Accessors


..


// }}}


// {{{ Foo Bars


..


// }}}


And they can collapse them in emacs. I'd really like to be able to collapse them in eclipse too (along with the other two or three people that work on his code in eclipse). After searching the endless plains of the internet, all I can find is documentation of the eclipse api that references a folding application, and something called "coffee bytes" which doesn't appear to work in CDT. Aaargh. I think that 1) Custom folding configurable through the menus would be a great addition to the next CDT. and 2) I'm willing to be a guinea pig :) and 3) Someone that knew eclipse well, and had this piece of information:

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_cdt_ui_foldingStructureProviders.html


could maybe make a text file I could edit and put somewhere in the eclipse folder to fix my immediate problem. OMG, that would be so helpful.

Thanks for reading,
Jeff
