java - Any way to hide comments in Eclipse

Question

Does anyone know if it would be possible to hide java comments in Eclipse? Is there any trick I could try?

Answer 1

You can fold most block /* ... */ comments to a single line. You can't do that inside code blocks (method bodies, static blocks, etc.) and maybe a few other places. You also can't collapse multiple lines of // ... style comments.

You could always change the syntax highlighting colors so the comments are in the background color. ;)

To turn on folding: Windows->Preferences->Java->Editor->Folding
