Eclipse PDT 3.6 Helios, keyboard shortcuts for toggle comment not working any more

Since upgrading Eclipse PDT from 3.5 to 3.6 my toggle comment/block comment shortcuts (CTRL + /) in Editors view, are not working any more. I can see them in the Menu

Source > Toggle Commtent (Ctrl + /)

as well as in the context menu ac开发者_JAVA技巧cessible via

Shift + Ctrl + L

But they simple don't work any more.

Has anybody the same problems? And is there a solution out there for this problem?

I have found a solution for this in the attached eclipse forum posts.

You simply have to download

org.eclipse.php.ui_2.2.1.v20101001-2300.jar

from

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/pdt/updates/2.2/milestones/plugins/org.eclipse.php.ui_2.2.1.v20101001-2300.jar

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/pdt/updates/2.2/milestones/plugins/org.eclipse.php.debug.core.source_2.2.0.v20101001-2300.jar

and start eclipse with -clean command

cd /path/to/eclipse

eclipse -clean

This solution doesn't work with the latest Helios release anymore

steps to reproduce:

1. download - http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-362/heliossr2
2. install JAVA and PHP development tools (via update)
3. download http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/pdt/update/2.2/milestones/plugins/org.eclipse.php.ui_2.2.1.v20101001-2300.jar
4. overwrite the existing file in eclipse/plugin
5. run eclipse with the -clean option
6. switch to PHP perspective
7. create a new php project, create a new php file
8. toggle comment no longer works

here's the bug report on eclipse.org https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=360526

I use eclipse kepler (CDT) in opensuse 12.3 and I too can't produce // at the beginning of an actual line by Ctrl+/. However Ctrl+Shift+7 works because on my key-board the key '/' must be typed as Shift+7.

A solution for me was the more simplier short-cut Ctrl+7 installed by Windows|Preferences|General|Keys|Comment/Uncomment ... The disadvatange is that Ctrl+7 is a new short-cut.

To comment a text block I first marked it and then I used the short-cut Strg+Shift+7, also installed by Windows|Preferences|General|Keys|Add Block Comment ...

I hope this can help You!?
