Description markiewb 2012-09-26 18:04:24 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201209232010 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.35 ]

The blockcomment above the import section cannot be folded.

<code>
/*
 * initial comment
 */
package javaapplication10;

/*
 * FIXME This comment cannot be folded.
 */
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

/**
 * Comment
 */
public class NewClass {
    
}
</code>

See screenshot - no folding marker on the left side.

Also reproducible in NetBeans 7.2

Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2012-10-04 10:10:49 UTC 
Java folds only javadoc comments for java language elements; the comment in the example is not a javadoc -> no folding. Even if it was javadoc (/** marker at the start), comment preceding import statement is not interpreted as javadoc anyway -- so I'd say the feature works 'as designed'.

For non-documentation comment folding see issue #71180
