Eclipse allows us to use “Ctrl + / “to comment multiple lines with “//” after highlighting them. Press “Ctrl + / ” again to uncomment.
“Ctrl + Shift + / ” will comment multiple lines with “/* */”. Use “Ctrl + Shift + \ ” to uncomment.
Some people suggest that “/* */ does not nest and can cause errors”, so it’s better to use just “//” on each line.
