how to install coffee-bytes plugin in eclipse; Eclipse folding plugin; manual folding plugin

I had trouble finding a good folding plugin for eclipse Indigo. The installation details are inserted below. In short: download the archive, extract plugins and features folders to the appropriate plugins and features folders in eclipse.

USAGE:

in User Defined Regions tab use e.g.:

Start identifier: region    End identifier: endregion

In code:

//region SomeName
your code
//endregion SomeName

 

Installation instructions:

  1. Install plugin
    1. Unpack the downloaded file eclipse-folding-plugin.tar.gz
    2. Copy the contents of the:
      1. features folder => eclipse features folder
      2. plugins folder => eclipse plugins folder
  2. Configure plugin in Eclipse:
    1. Select "Windows->Preferences"
    2. Select "Java->Editor->Folding"
    3. Check the "Enable folding" option
    4. Select "Coffee Bytes Java Folding" in the "Select folding to use:" option
    5. Check "User Defined Regions" in the "General Fold Setting:" option

  5. Do you think this editor ( the user defined region folding) could be tailored or shoe-horned to work with CDT C++ editor ??!!

  7. I dont find step 4: option "select folding to use".
    anybody can help me?
    when clicking "Folding" all the options are checkboxes: Enable folding, comments, header comments, inner types, members, imports. dont have the option above.

    thanks

    1. I just ran into this issue. If you are running under Windows 7, right click on the Eclipse icon and run it as an admin. Then follow the instructions. You can run it normally afterward.

    2. thanks, but what is the password of admin? how can i know?

      Delete

    3. Well buddy, if you don't know your own admin password, how could you expect that we do...

    4. I think the admin password is usually the name of your first Pet..!

    5. Also, if you are running Win7 64-bit, you may need to make sure that eclipse is running from the Program Files (x86) folder, to ensure that it is treated as a 32-bit application.

  20. Google for file "com.cb.eclipse.folding_1.0.7.jar", this seems to be updated version of "com.cb.eclipse.folding_1.0.6.jar" plugin file or something.... I've installed it about hour ago, so far no problems encountered

    ReplyDelete

  21. nevermind, it does appear also with this one :/

    ReplyDelete

  22. Yes, unfortunately it appears but a lot rare than 1.0.6.

    I hope it will be fixed.

    ReplyDelete

  23. Thanks so much!! I am happy! YEAH,

    ReplyDelete

  24. same error: Assertion failed :(

    ReplyDelete

  25. Confirmed to work in JBoss Developer Studio 5.01 (based on Eclipse 3.7)

    If JBDS was installed under root (i.e. under /usr/local/jbdevstudio) you need to copy the files as root and run JBDS/Eclipse once as root as well.

    ReplyDelete

  27. THANKS MAN. ITS WORKING.

    ReplyDelete

  29. Does anybody get some news about this annoying "assertion failed" bug ? :\
    I don't really want to remove coffee byte plugin, but this bug is really annoying.

  34. Does't work with eclipse 4.2.0 Juno ,

    ReplyDelete

  38. Great post. Thank you
    If you feel lazy to even type region add this to
    Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Templates

    Code:
    // region ${Name}
    ${line_selection}${cursor}
    // endregion ${Name}

    Implementation: Alt + Shift + H and then Select template.
