Hi

Is user code folding available in PDT?

Like Netbeans:
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" description">
....
// </editor-fold>

Or Visual Studio:

#region description
...
#endregion

Thx

(My opinion is *anyone* can add such functionality to PDT through the extension point.)

"(My opinion is *anyone* can add such functionality to PDT through the extension point.)"

Considering that code folding, once the basics are there, is basically just finding the start/end keyword/charector and enabling them for folding - it seems to me that this should be easy to add as well.

Still, the lack of this one feature is what is preventing me from moving to eclipse from other platforms.

However, eclipse is so compelling a choice I am willing to roll up my sleeves and give it a go to add this functionality myself. Can you provide me any hints/pointers on where to look to hack through the code and give it a try?

"through the extension point" means that you have to create an eclipse plug-in. Is it OK?
If you are familiar with developing eclipse plug-ins, you can find the extension point 'org.eclipse.php.ui.foldingStructureProviders'. It is necessary to implement two classes for IStructuredTextFoldingProvider and IPHPFoldingPreferenceBlock.
My small implementation is
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=173796 (attached zip...oops, I had forgotten to package sources into zip)
or
http://sourceforge.jp/cvs/view/pdt-tools/ExperimentalFolding Provider/ (another implementation's source repository)

BTW, this extension point doesn't work on Helios(Eclipse 3.6 + WTP 3.2) because wtp had removed IStructuredTextFoldingProvider. New interface is here, though pdt isn't migrated yet.

Best regards.

See : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=63808
Needs to be implemented as a "surround with" option with default sate collapsed - as in netbeans - not just a quick hack for adding a new fold keyword
