conditions, loops and try/catch The motivation about this was to implement those missing folding blocks in java editor. This was just implemented for imports, classes, inner classes, methods but not for stuff inside methods like if/else if/else, try/catch and loops because all of them are treated like as code blocks.

@Chris2011 there's no need to create an issue if you're already working on a pull request - it says this on the form, and just adds extra work. |
|
@neilcsmith-net Ahh ok, thx for the hint :). Maybe I overread it. |
|
useful feature |
|
Thx, PR is still created, need to change some things first as requested :) |
|
Any chance you could also include folding for /* */ style comments? |
|
@OnyxianSoul So normal block comments, not documentation comments, right? If yes, I will try. |
|
It would be great if it could recognize continuous "//" multi line comments but why not be able to do it on "/**/" commented parts also. |

…he#4447-fix-missing-java-codeblocks-folding
I had a look and it is already working. Go into a method, add /* Foo */ somwhere in the code and you can fold it. If you encounter a position, where this is not working, please create a new ticket with explicit steps to reproduce. @OnyxianSoul |

Description
Code folding is a nice thing to collapse lots of code, unfortunately code folding is not possible in Java editor for condition blocks (if, else if, else), loops (do, for, while), switch/case blocks or try/catch blocks but it should as in other languages too.
Use case/motivation
Having the possibility to collapse/expand condition blocks, loop blocks and try/catch.
