This feature enhances the code folding mechanism in Eclipse JDT by enabling folding for control statements like <b>if, while, and for. </b>

It improves code readability and navigation by allowing developers to collapse and expand structured blocks.

In very large files, opening the file may take slightly longer, but afterwards, everything functions as normal.

A new quick-fix has been created for Java 21 and up to add

permitted types as case labels to
96-
a switch statement/expression that specifies a variable
97-

A new clean-up and quick-assist has been added for Java 21 and up to
117-
convert if statements using pattern instanceof expressions
118-
into a switch statement or switch expression (if possible).
119-
The transformation only applies if there are three
120-
or more pattern instanceof references to a single variable.
121-
To use the clean-up, go to the <b>Java Feature</b>
122-
tab of the clean-up configuration dialog under <b>Java 21</b> and
123-
select <b>Pattern instanceof to Switch</b>.

137-
The String concatenation to text block clean-up/quick-assist has been
138-
enhanced with regards to converting a StringBuilder or StringBuffer.
139-
There are situations where the StringBuilder/StringBuffer cannot
140-
be converted directly into a text block (for example, if the StringBuffer
141-
is further appended to or is passed as an argument to a method). In
142-
the past, the code would be left unaltered but now a text block will
143-
be used to initialize the StringBuffer/StringBuilder if not too
144-
small to warrant a text block.
145-
<p>The clean-up is enabled on the <b>Java Feature</b> tab underi</p>

147-
<b>Convert String concatenation to text block</b> and

<b>Include StringBuffer or StringBuilder concatenations</b>.

Developers can now easily compare elements in objects of the same type, such as <b><i>Lists, CharSequences, Sets, Iterables, Maps, Wrappers, Queues, and Deques</i> </b>, directly from the variables view.
192-
This feature provides a summarised overview of their similarities and differences.
193-
For other Java types, comparisons will be made based on their fields (if available), or by their references if fields are not present.
194-
This eliminates the need to write explicit comparison code in the debug shell or manually inspect each collection.<br/> Simply stop at a breakpoint, select at least two variables of the same type, and view the comparison results..
