Knowing Eclipse shortcut to comment and uncomment single line or block
of code can save you a lot of time while working in Eclipse. In fact I highly
recommend every Java programmer to go through these top
30 Eclipse shortcut and 10
java debugging tips in Eclipse for improved productivity. If you are Java
programmer, coding in Eclipse and want to comment and uncomment single line or
block of code quickly you can either use ctrl + / to comment
a single line and subsequently uncomment a commented line. If you want to
comment a block of code or a complete method, you have two options you can
either line comment (//) all those selected lines or block
comment (/* */) those lines.
For line comment multiple lines, select multiple lines and press Ctrl + /, it will put // in front of every line. For block commenting in Eclipse, first, select all the lines or code block you want to comment and then enter ctrl+shift+/ it will put /* on the first line and */ on the last line.
Btw, if you are a beginner, I suggest you first go through a beginner course like Eclipse Tutorials for Beginners to understand the core concepts of Eclipse IDE and get yourself familiar with UI and essential features. Learning plugins will be a lot easier after that.
Here is a better-illustrated example of commenting and uncommenting Java code in Eclipse IDE :

Here is a better-illustrated example of commenting and uncommenting Java code in Eclipse IDE :
Eclipse shortcut to comment one line or block code in Java
public void
printHello(){
System.out.println("HelloWorld");
}
System.out.println("HelloWorld");
}
and I want to comment on a line that is printing HelloWorld, just put
the courser on that line and type ctrl+/ , you will see the following line :
public void printHello(){
// System.out.println("HelloWorld");
}
// System.out.println("HelloWorld");
}
If you want to uncomment that same line, keep the cursor on the same line and
type again ctrl+/, it will uncomment that line.
If you want to comment on the whole method, first select the whole method and then
type ctrl+/, this will line comment all selected lines as shown below :
// System.out.println("HelloWorld");
//}
If you want to block comment whole block than type ctrl
+ shift + / and it will put /*
and */ on first and last line, as shown below :
/*public void printHello(){
System.out.println("HelloWorld");
}*/
System.out.println("HelloWorld");
}*/
This Eclipse shortcut for commenting and uncommenting Java code
will surely help you save few keystrokes and improve your speed while working
in Eclipse. To learn more Eclipse comments short cuts see Top

Ranjeet,
The java classpath is not set correctly when you are trying to run your java program directly on the command line, hence the self-evident 'NoClassDefFoundError'.
