You can try out this feature in the NetBeans IDE 3.6 beta, downloadable at <a href="http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/" target=_blank">http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/</a>. <p>Code folding enables you to manage the level of detail that is displayed in the source editor when you are writing your code. For example, you can set the source editor to hide method bodies so that it is easier to view the high-level structure of your class. You can also hide Javadoc comments, import statement blocks, inner class bodies, and initial comments.</p> <p>When code folding is turned on, small "-" or "+" icons appear to the left of the first line in each code block (or "fold"). Click the "-" button to collapse the code block. Click the "+" button to display the whole code block. You can also expand or collapse all folds by right-clicking in the source editor and choosing a command from the Code Folds submenu.</p> <p>When you start NetBeans IDE 3.6 for the first time, code folding is enabled, but none of the code is collapsed. You can configure the IDE to have code folded when files are opened. Choose Tools | Options. Then expand Editing | Editor Settings and select the Java Editor node. In the property sheet, select the Code Folding property. In the Java Editor - Code Folding dialog box, set the types of folds that you want to be collapsed by default.</p> </font></td> <td><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/pixel.gif' WIDTH='12' HEIGHT='1' ALT=''></td> </tr> <tr class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><td colspan='4'> </td></tr> <tr class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'> <TD VALIGN='bottom' class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/pixel.gif' WIDTH='1' HEIGHT='1' ALT=''></TD> <td><font face='Verdana, sans-serif, helvetica, arial' >[<a href='http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/code_folding/cf_uispec.html' target='new'>more info and screenshots</a>]</font> </td> <td align='right'><font face='Verdana, sans-serif, helvetica, arial' > Patrick Keegan</font></td> <TD VALIGN='bottom' class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/pixel.gif' WIDTH='1' HEIGHT='1' ALT=''></TD> </tr> <tr class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'> <TD VALIGN='bottom' class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/marketing_newsletter/template/bottom-left.gif' WIDTH='12' HEIGHT='17' ALT=''></TD> <TD colspan='2' VALIGN='bottom' class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/pixel.gif' WIDTH='1' HEIGHT='1' ALT=''></TD> <TD aligm='right' VALIGN='bottom' class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/marketing_newsletter/template/bottom-right.gif' WIDTH='12' HEIGHT='17' ALT=''></TD> </tr> </table><img src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/pixel.gif' width='1' height='4' bolder='0'><table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='98%'> <tr class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'> <TD VALIGN='TOP' class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/marketing_newsletter/template/top-left.gif' WIDTH='12' HEIGHT='17' ALT=''></TD> <td> </td> <td align='right'> </td> <TD VALIGN='TOP' class='tabler' align='right' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/marketing_newsletter/template/top-right.gif' WIDTH='12' HEIGHT='17' ALT=''></TD> </tr> <tr class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'> <td class='tabler' bgcolor='#ffffff'><IMG src='http://www.netbeans.org/images/pixel.gif' WIDTH='12' HEIGHT='1' ALT=''></td> <td colspan='2'><a name='s163'></a><font face='Verdana, sans-serif, helvetica, arial' color='#FF0F12' class='titlec'><b>NetCAT Program - Our Customer Is Our Community</b></font><br> <br><font face='Verdana, sans-serif, helvetica, arial' >NetBeans Community Acceptance Testing or NetCAT is a program designed to involve NetBeans community members in the testing of the NetBeans 3.6 Beta and RC builds. Developed over a three month period this breakthrough program will allow participants to provide feedback on product usability, quality, performance and overall release quality. <p>Initial expectations on the number of volunteers for the NetCAT program were modest. The anticipated number of 20 applicants was soon overshadowed by the 130 volunteers who applied. The process of selection has since closed and a final number of <a href="http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/36/participants.html">40 volunteers were selected</a> for participation. Thanks to all the volunteers.</p> <p>The 40 participants who were selected have begun testing the first of the two builds; NetBeans 3.6 Beta. After the RC will be another testing period where they can object to the release. The community participants will fill out a customer acceptance survey and if 30% or more of the participants share the view that a particular issue should be showstopper, they have the power to stop the final release until the issue has been addressed. A <a href="http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/36/36-bug-form.html">simplied bug submission form</a> has been created for their use with automatic IDE version selection and a prepared keyword to reduce errors and a mailing list for their communication. </p> <p>You can follow the participants progress on the <a href="http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/36/nb36-feedback-all.html">NetCAT program dashboard</a> as well as a <a href="http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/36/nb36-feedback-other.html">general information</a> page containing: the most active participants, hot threads and more. </p> <p>We should have no doubt that this time we want our users to accept the release and it seems that the potential to help in our community is enormous.
