I red in the News and Noteworthy of 3.1M3 that the "Improved Java
properties file editor" allows coloured syntax highlighting.
I installed 3.1M3 and i see the editor property page with the customizable
colours you can attribute to the various syntax parts, but, despite any
colour i choose, when i edit a properties file with that editor all the
colours looks... black :)

Should it be activated somewere else to allow coloured syntax highlighting?

Regards, Gabriele

Are you sure the properties file editor is used and not some other
editor? Select the *.properties file and then from context menu select
"Open With" > "Properties File Editor". Also note that this feature
currently only works for files inside the workspace and not for external
files or files inside a JAR. This support is planned for 3.1 M4.

Daniel, i've catched the problem.
It is the net.sf.servereclipse_0.1.2 plugin that conflicts with
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PropertiesFileEditor.
Until WTP is ready it provides a nice jsp/xml/properties syntax
highlighter, but unfortunately it defines a
org.eclipse.ui.editors.documentProviders extension
(net.sf.servereclipse.ui.jsp.internal.text.PropertiesDocumen tProvider) for
properties files that, i guess, overrides the input type expected by
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PropertiesFileEditor.
Commenting that provider extension in plugin.xml makes everything working
as expected.

I apologize for bothering you for this.

Gabriele.

I have the same problem (or very similar). I have some files that have
*.properties format, but can't have .properties extension (tey have another
one). I have associate it using "preferences -> workbench -> file
associations" this extension to "properties file editor". Then I tried to
open file with "open with -> properties file editor", but it looks still
like normal text editor.

I have E3.1M3 and only one external plugin (XMLBuddy), in log file there is
no exception or message according to this action.
