Hi All,
Hope all is going well.
Is it possible to convert comment styles in Eclipse? What i'd like to be
able to do is convert /* ... */ comments to // commands via a menu
entry, something like right click over a comment block that looks
something like:
/*
* some comment block inside a method
*/
select some menu entry like 'Convert to // Comment' or similar so that
the result looks like:
//
// some comment block inside a method
//
Does something like this already exist inside Eclipse? (or via an
external plugin)
Any thoughts/ideas?
Cheers,
Marcus

I'm not sure if it's fair to say that most people would find it useless
- I think it depends on the software shop that a person is working in,
and the code they are managing. As for the example you provided about
commenting, the code reformatting could be done like this:
/*
* comment
*/ not commented code;
//
// comment
not commented code;
or, perhaps a less trivial example
/*
* comment
* text here */ not commented code;
//
// comment
// text here
not commented code;
Although I'm not sure it neccessarily is of first priority to clutter
the source/refactoring menus, I think this is a valid organization tool
(along the lines of organize imports).
