I ran into a problem copying my code from Eclipse to word and in my search to find a solution I came across Bugzilla. Is Eclipse an open source application that we can contribute to? I would love to get involved if that is true.

Incidentally, I found if I set up a custom java code style format the color will copy over to word, whereas with out it, no color copies over.

The next is that bugzilla appears to be a bug reporter and I had a work around solution. Being that I program I know it is possible that the code that allows the color to work in the Java Code Style is probably missing in the default code setup. So I offered this information to bugzilla.

What has caught my interest is the possibility of debugging it myself. I just don't know where to start, if it is possible.

Thank You.

Of course.

Strange.

Yes, it's possible to debug it yourself. You can always launch a
runtime (self hosted) version of the IDE itself in debug mode. You can
use things like PDE Spy (Alt-Shift-F1) to see what classes implement the
thing you see in the IDE and set breakpoints in them to see how they
behave at runtime. Tricks like bringing up the Plug-ins view, selecting
them all, and using Add to Java Search is very helpful too because then
Ctrl-Shift-T can be used to open any class, not just the ones in the
workspace and their current dependencies.
