New issue 42 by BlessedGeek: Is Coffee Bytes usable with Eclipse 4.2?
http://code.google.com/p/coffee-bytes/issues/detail?id=42

I installed Coffee Bytes in Eclipse 4.2 (STS 3.0 M3).

It appears that when Coffee Bytes is enabled, the editor screen gets
scanned repeatedly.

The scanning was so bad that I could not perform triple clicks to select a
line, because my finger response was not quick enough to prevent the next
scan - that all my attempts at triple clicking turned them into double
clicks.

Sometimes, the scanning is so quick that I can't even perform double click.

Does Coffee Bytes detect my custom folding by repeatedly scanning the
editor panel? Rather than hooking into the editor? Is there a way to pare
down the scanning frequency, say every 5 seconds (rather than every 100 ns
which what Coffee Bytes appears to be doing).

I did not have this problem when I had Coffee Bytes active on Eclipse 3.7
(STS 2.9.2).

Unfortunately, no. Things have changed pretty significantly since this
plugin was written. To be honest, I'm surprised it worked OK in Eclipse
3.7; many people had pretty significant problems with it starting with 3.5
on.

The scanning of the plugin is triggered by the same events as the old
Eclipse core projection engine.

This sounds like a backwards compatibility bug in the 4.2 version of the
Eclipse editor, but given that they've only implemented a compatibility
layer for old plugins, it's probably not going to get visited by them (I'm
sure the core folding engine has been re-visited), and unfortunately this
plugin is no longer maintained.

I'm using Juno and have not ran into the scanning problem (No STS - pure
eclipse)
I did have an assertion issue poping every 3-4 keyboard clicks etc. which I
solved by disabling folding for elements I don't really need (Top Level
Types, Normal Methods, Constructors, Getters and Setters, Main Methods,
Inner Types, Static Initializers).

Since I use CB mostly for the User Define Regions - this works fine for me.

it works fine in my eclipse juno 4.2,
maybe you should Running eclipse once as administrator allowed it to pick
up the plugin
i install this on this way :
D:\Workspace\ide\eclipse_dropins\codefolding\eclipse\plugins\com.cb.eclipse.folding_1.0.6.jar
D:\Workspace\ide\eclipse\links\codefolding.link
