Hello.
I am currently writing some AST analyzing and following problem appears:
I need to color some ASTNode.ASSIGNMENTs in existing JavaEditor (change background color of assignment expression). Is it possible to do that or i should write my own JavaEditor?
I have looked in TextEditor annotation painter direction. If i understand right, it is necessary to have SourceViewer or similar but such objects can be accessed only in TextEditor child.
Another direction is to color text through SourceViewer.getTextWidget. It returns styledText that can be colored manually. But again, i need to have SourceViewer.
Am i missing somthing? Is it possible to color ASTNode.ASSIGNMENTs without battling with JavaEditor?

I just have found a solution.
Generally, yes, it's possible to hightlight some text in existing TextEditor(JavaEditor) without subclassing it.
Goal can be achived by using markers or textEditor annotations (dont confuse with java annotations).
I chosed first way because i needed to track highlighting dynamicly, depending on source changes.
IF u interested a way how it can be done, read this post.
First, you need to connect to compilationParticipant extension point:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.jdt.core.compilationParticipant">
<compilationParticipant
class="org.example.markers.exampleCompilationParticipant"
createsProblems="true"
id="test"
modifiesEnvironment="false">
</compilationParticipant>
</extension>
Then you should create myCompilationParticipant and override reconcile and isActive methods like this:
public class exampleCompilationParticipant extends CompilationParticipant{
public static final String MY_MARKER = "com.example.myannotation";
@Override
public boolean isActive(IJavaProject project) {
return true;
}
@Override
public void reconcile(ReconcileContext context)
Thirdly, you need to use extension points again:
to create annotation type that have custom parameters
and to connect marker with this annotation type
It should be looked like following:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.markerAnnotationSpecification"
id="myAnnotationSpecification" name="myAnnotation">
<specification annotationType="com.example.myannotation"
label="Test marker annotation"
overviewRulerPreferenceKey="example.ruler"
overviewRulerPreferenceValue="false"
contributesToHeader = "false"
colorPreferenceKey="example.color"
colorPreferenceValue="0,255,0"
textPreferenceKey="example.text"
textPreferenceValue="false"
verticalRulerPreferenceKey="example.vertical"
verticalRulerPreferenceValue="true"
textStylePreferenceKey="example.style"
textStylePreferenceValue="NONE"
highlightPreferenceValue = "true"
highlightPreferenceKey="example.highlight">
</specification>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.annotationTypes">
<type
name="com.example.myannotation"
markerType="com.example.myannotation"/>
</extension>
And now you can create IMarkers in exampleCompilationParticipant's reconcile that would be colored:
public static final String MY_MARKER = "com.example.myannotation";
...
public void reconcile(ReconcileContext context){
super.reconcile(context);
ASTNode root = null;
IResource res = context.getWorkingCopy().getResource();
try {
res.deleteMarkers(MY_MARKER , true, IProject.DEPTH_INFINITE);
root = context.getAST8();
} catch (CoreException e) {
System.out.println("got Ast8 exception");
return;
}
AssignmentsVisitor visitor = new AssignmentsVisitor();
root.accept(visitor);
for(Assignment assignment : visitor.getAssignments()){
try {
IMarker marker = res.createMarker(MY_MARKER);
int start = assignment.getLeftHandSide().getStartPosition();
int end = assignment.getLeftHandSide().getStartPosition() + assignment.getLeftHandSide().getLength();
marker.setAttribute(IMarker.CHAR_START, start);
marker.setAttribute(IMarker.CHAR_END, end);
} catch (CoreException e) {
System.out.println("Marking assignments exeption");
}
}
}
Hope this would help someone.
