Is there a shortcut for multi line comment?

I know the shortcut for the single line comment, command + /, but I would like to know the shortcut for the multi line comment if there is any. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure.

In most text editors, you can just select a whole block of code my using your mouse, then you can press Cmmd+/, and all the code will turn into a comment. Of course, you can un-comment it by doing the same steps.

I believe you're looking for something like this: (in Eclipse)

For single line comment you can use Ctrl + / and for multiple line comment you can use Ctrl + Shift + / after selecting the lines you want to comment in java editor.

On Mac/OS X you can use ⌘ + / to comment out single lines or selected blocks.
