Hi,
I'm trying to develop an Eclipse Plugin. I have a tree view in my plugin and my tree elements have the source code's statement(like catch block, for loop, etc. in default Eclipse Editor).Now i want this; when user clicks the any of item in the view, (i mean select a statement) this statement should be highlighted in editor.
To achieve my goal, I don't want to create a new editor in eclipse, I want to extend the default java editor to highlight some words.
Thanks in advance.

The Java editors are instances of JavaEditor. JavaEditor supports setSelection(IJavaElement) to select a high-level element (e.g., a method or field). JavaEditor is also an AbstractTextEditor, which treats its content as a long string called a Document, and supports both selectAndReveal(int offset, int length). You'll need to figure out where your corresponding element lives in the document.

Thank you so much, hopefully it may help.
