Just curious if there's a setting somewhere in Eclipse to keep blocks of code collapsed when the class is opened? It's just I'll collapse methods then when the class is re-opened, everything is expanded.
Thanks

In Windows > preferences:
Java > editor > folding: check all, click apply & then OK.
Maybe this helps: Ctrl + Shift+ NUM_KEYPAD_DIVIDE collapse all methods in a java class.

Yes . From the eclipse official documentation :
You can specify which regions are folded by default when an editor is opened. Have a look at the Opens the folding preference page Java >Editor > Folding preference page to customize this.
Just click all the checkboxs .Then whenever a .java file is open in the java editor , everything will be collapsed.
Not sure if this options is the new feature for eclipse indigo version (3.7) , so you may have to update your eclipse to indigo if you use older version but cannot find this option.

I'm not aware of a solution, but let me tell you how I work - maybe this is a solution for you as well:
Enable "Only show the selected Java element". The editor will only show the element (method) you selected (see screenshot).
While editing a file use either the Outline view or
CTRL + Oto navigate through the class file.
Btw: I disabled all folding options as the above approach just works best for me. Sadly, I'm not aware of a shortcut to enable/disable the "Only show the selected Java element".

Yes, you can set the options what to fold on file open.
You can find it at Settings->Editor->Folding
It features a resonable selection of folding options.
