Comments

Comment

You can quickly comment out one or more lies of code by inserting the leading characters // at the beginning of the line. To do so, select the line (or lines) of code you want to comment out and press CTRL+/ (slash).

Uncomment

To uncomment select the line (or lines) of code, and press CTRL+\ (backslash).

Tip: The characters /* */ on lines that are already commented out, are not affected when you comment and uncomment code.

Multiline comment

You can use the Content Assist feature to insert a multiline comment before a method. Type com+Ctrl+Space, and the following code is entered at the cursor location:

/*
 * author userid
 *
 * To change this generated comment edit the template variable "comment":
 * Window>Preferences>C>Templates.
 */
