Try using Ctr+Shift+C
This should work

For me Remove Block Comment (Ctrl + Shift + ) works but only if there is code on the first line of the comment, so your example does not work but:

/* if (isKilled) Log.i("TAG", "Killed"); 
 */

does work.

I am having this problem since ever. Always had in mind that Ctrl + Shift + C would away be the right way to comment but it never "uncomment".

Instead just change for to use Ctrl + / (for groups also) , or Ctrl + Shift + / for /**/ if you prefer.

It never fails, do not stress yourself again.

One partial solution to this is to disable block comment formatting.

If you do that, Eclipse will not add * for intermediate lines in multiline block comments when you format the code. And so you will be able to remove such block comments with Ctrl+Shift+ or just by removing /* and */

In Eclipse for PHP (Windows), in the main menu Window->Preferences->PHP->CodeStyle->Formatter->Edit->Comments
Uncheck "Enable block comment formatting"

It is basically a case when save actions is enabled in eclipse. When you put block comments using "Crtl + Shift + /" or by typing yourself as:

/*
 line 1
 line 2
 line 3
*/

and save it, the editor formats it to

 /*
 * line 1
 * line 2
 * line 3
 */

* are added on each intermediate lines. This results "Crtl + Shift + " to fail to remove those "*" before the lines.

The solution is:

1- Use "Crtl + Shift + C" to comment and uncomment (toggle). Preferable one.

2- If you don't want to use "Crtl + Shift + C". This is a hack actually. When you save, the editor formats the code like:

 /*
 * line 1
 * line 2
 * line 3
 */

You intermediately undo (Crtl + Z) it. The editor will put it back to earlier stage but code is saved like:

/*
 line 1
 line 2
 line 3
*/

Now you can use "Crtl + Shift + " to uncomment when needed. The * won't trouble you :)

This might not be as easy. But still it works!
I use Ctrl+F to get the Find and Replace window, check the Regular expressions check box and use this regex ^(s*)/?*/?(.*)$ and 12 in the replace part and click "Replace All".
If you want to uncomment only one commented code part, you can select that area and use the radio button "Selected lines" in the scope part.

Regex break up

^ #denotes start of the line. To avoid matching * in other part of the code.
( #first group. To preserve the indentation
s* #selects the tab/space. The indentation
) #first group is closed
/? matches the forward slash in the first line of comment
* matches the star(Asterik) in the comments. backward slash is used as a delimiter
/? matches the forward slash in the last line of comment
( #second group. To preserve the indentation
.* # the actual code to be uncommented
) #second group is closed
$ # till the end of the line


Hope this helps!

1. Select the lines of code u wanna comment/uncomment.




2. Then hit "Ctrl + / " to comment/uncomment.

In Eclipse,
To add and remove single line comments,

CNTRL+SHIFT+C

Example:

// if(i==1)
// ...
// 

To add and remove multi line comments,

CNTRL+SHIFT+/ --> add
CNTRL+SHIFT+ --> remove

Example:

/* if(i==1)
 ...

*/
