Problem
In Eclipse, I’d want to use regions for code folding; how can I achieve this in Java?
In C#, here’s an example:
#region name
//code
#endregion

This feature is available in Jet Brains IDEA. You can do this with the hotkey surround (ctrl + alt + T). It’s simply an IDEA feature.
There appear to be regions there that look like
//region Description
Some code
//endregion

private String _sMyVar2;
//endregion
Make sure there’s no blank line after /region…

There isn’t a linguistic equivalent… On the basis of IDEs…
For instance, in Netbeans:

// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Your Fold Comment">
...
// </editor-fold>

This has been tested with the eclipses Luna and Juno. The steps are as follows:
