Javascript Clock

Here is a simple clock in HTML/Javascript:

<p>The time is <span id="clock">unknown<script language="javascript">
function clockTimeout()
{
    var clockSpan = document.getElementById("clock");
    var timeNode = document.createTextNode(new Date().toTimeString().substring(0, 8));
    clockSpan.replaceChild(timeNode, clockSpan.firstChild);
    window.setTimeout('clockTimeout()', 1000);
}
clockTimeout();
</script></span>.</p>

Eclipse User-defined Code Folding

User-defined code folding has been a long-standing request for Eclipse, but has been deferred repeatedly and is still not in Eclipse 3.2.  There is, however, a 3rd party plug-in that provides it:  Coffee-Bytes Platform Support.
