I am trying to get folds working for Java files in MacVim. To do so
I added lines to
/usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/java.vim

Now when I type "vim myfile.java" I get folds! Great!
I believe it's generally best to avoid modifying manufacturer-supplied
files like this; you should be able to achieve the same effect by putting
your modified copy of java.vim in ~/.vim/syntax (thus, it'd be the file
~/.vim/syntax/java.vim). Vim, and MacVim, will read these first, before
looking in the normal location. I have quite a few files in ~/.vim/syntax
for languages that aren't supplied with the stock Vim, or various tweaks
or updates to languages.
But when I run MacVim and open myfile.java... there are no folds and I
get the error message "E490: No fold found" when I type "zc" on a
foldable block of code.
Right... those files you were modifying, under /usr/share/vim/vim72 ?
There's an entire (almost-but-not-quite) duplicate set of them under
/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime. You'd have
to modify them there too. Another reason why ~/.vim is a good idea.
Cheers,
Carl
