I use eclipse Coffee-Bytes plugin over a year. This eclipse folding plugin can be configured so that it was identical to visual studio folding. Lock this and this. Hope it's help you.

Hi, yes it's on 3.6. Why without success? Can you explain more about problem?

Note that as of Aug 2011, the plugin is now hosted here: code.google.com/p/coffee-bytes (although it is not maintained)

Manual code folding can be added by writing your own small Eclipse plug-in. What it take is implementing two classes and packing them into an Eclipse plug-in that registers onto the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.foldingStructureProvider extension-point.

This is probably not the awnser you were hoping from, but as far as I know the only way to add custom code folding to the Eclipse Java editor. From your question I see that you are mostly a visual-studio user and as such not familiar with Eclipse plug-in architecture, but depending on your experience with general plug-in architectures, extending Eclipse is (in small scale) pretty straight forward.

thnx mate... someday hope to code an eclipse plugin :-) for now will go with pasha's suggestion for coffee-bytes ready to use plugin :-)
