Hi,
I see that in eclipse 3.1 by default sometimes certain keywords or
variables will get highlighted in yellow when double clicked and if there
is more than one reference all the references will be highlighted. I can
see this as being useful but also a bother when I don't feel like seing
the highlighted items. Does anyone know how I can either turn this off, or
enter a keyboard command that will deselect all the highlighted yellow. I
looked around in the preferences but could not find it. Thanks!

Sounds like you accidentally turned on the preference to "Mark All
Occurrances" (on the main toolbar?). You should just need to toggle it
off again.

Jared thanks, I feel a little stupid.
