Description klaas bonnema CLA 2020-09-22 10:34:18 EDT 
The Generic Text Editor does not show a "top level" Source menu. This menu typically contains options such as Toggle Comments and (code) Format.

The WildWebDeveloper is using the Generic Text Editor and it does offer Toggle Comments and Block Comments options but they are only available from the Source option in the context menu. This is difficult to spot for new users that are used to the Source option in the top level menu for other Eclipse editors.
This became clear when the JSDT editor was discontinued in Eclipse PDT in favor of  WWD.
