# Folding

This plugin enhances code folding in Eclipse IDE, based on and maintained from Coffee-Bytes Code Folding.  
It allows defining custom foldable regions in Java, XML, and other files using //[start] … //[end] comments, making code more organized and easier to navigate.

Fork of the coffee-bytes code folding plugin. Original source: https://code.google.com/archive/p/coffee-bytes/

## Features
- Folding support for <em>classes, methods, field groups, imports, comments, and documentation</em>.
- Custom Region Folding: Define your own folding markers (default [start] / [end]).
- Deep integration with Eclipse JDT folding preferences to enable/disable folding for specific elements.
- Customizable folding strategies in Preferences: Configure in Window → Preferences → Java → Editor → Folding.
- Preserves Native Folding: Extends Eclipse’s folding system without removing built-in features.

## Use
1. Preferences 
Click Window → Preferences → Java → Editor → Folding
