Description jbehre1973 2013-04-09 15:36:46 UTC

If I switch on
"Code folding -> Collapse by default -> Tags and Other code blocks",
it has no effect on any of my Java code.
What code blocks are supposed to be affected by this option?

It is confusing that Netbeans 7.3 in Java code still does not support code folding for for loops, while loops, try blocks, if statements etc.

There is already code folding for methods and classes. And the abovementioned code blocks are precisely detected and indicated by highlighting the corresponding brackets and by a blue line at the border.

So why is there no possibility to collapse them just by clicking on a minus sign
as it is already possible for methods and classes?

It would make Java code containing, for instance, large loops much more readable.
