Hi.

I'm trying to insert a code fold in a Java comment because I am hoping that
using this feature will be a convenience that help obscure bits of the code
(and comments) that one wouldn't wish to copy to another document using
ctrl-c for instance. Have I understood the use of code folding correctly?

Anyway, I try to inset a fold into my comment. It is bounded by the lines:

//<editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="comment">
//</editor-fold>

When I try this, I do not see the lines I wish to be obscured disappear,
nor do I see a fold control ([+]) appear in the left margin of the editor
window.

Is this a known issue with Netbeans 8.2, and if so, has it been solved in
later versions? Do I need to turn a setting on somewhere? I've closed and
re-opened the Java file, and this makes no difference. Because the fold is
in a comment, the fold would be nested within the fold that appears for the
whole comment (fold controls for the whole comment do appear). Is this a
bug?

Help appreciated...

Thanks,

  Owen.
