Hiding code temporarily [message #1385554]

Hi,

I'm debugging a large piece of code with many if's. The error I get at a few places is that there is a missing ; but after checking I suspect a missing { or } is the real issue. To check this I would like to temporarily 'hide' the code so I can check that both { and } are there. Is this possible in Eclipse and if so, how ? BTW, it's the same idea as in Matlab where you can click the - or + next to an if-statement.

Thanks.

When you place the cursor close to a bracket/brace then the editor will highlight the corresponding bracket/brace. When you press Shift+Ctrl+P then the cursor will jump to this bracket.
You can also use the code folding feature. When you click at the left border the little circle with a minus next to an if statement then Eclipse will fold (hide) the code that belongs to this if statement (the same holds true for else/for/while etc.).
There is also a plugin which visually separates these blocks by different colors
http://editbox.sourceforge.net/

The bracketeer plugin https://github.com/chookapp/Bracketeer is also very helpful.
