I use eclipse 3.2. Is it possible to collapse a part of the code by
selecting it with with mouse and select some kind of collapse function?

Yes. It's called "code folding". When you're viewing Java code you should
see lots of little +'s and -'s along the left margin; those expand and
collapse corresponding blocks of code. There is a dialog that controls the
default folding behavior (e.g., by default imports are collapsed).

Is there a way of seeing this behavior universally? Across all
perspectives?

but it only apply to methods. In a method I have:

int i;
int p;

Now I would like to only fold these two lines, is that possible?

No. There's a feature request in bugzilla for this.

It is specific to the type of Editor, not the Perspective. Only some
editors support folding (Java, Ant, and JavaScript editors are the ones
I know of).
