bracket and parenthesis matching -- any way to expand/collapse code? [message #656061]

I previously used Dreamweaver to edit my PHP scripts and it had a very convenient +/- icon that would appear by the line numbers in my code editor. Clicking this would allow me to select all the code between the current set of curly braces {} or parentheses ().

Does Eclipse (Galileo) allow one to do any such thing? I have a lengthy while loop and it's hard to tell how many levels I need to continue.

If you place the caret right after the opening '{' Eclipse will
highlight the closing '}'.

If you double click right after the opening '{' Eclipse will highlight
the entire code block between '{' and '}'.

Hope that helps.
