(this time with a real subject :-)

Hi,
I have tried out Mint (version 0.8.0) and I like the colouring of generatedNot methods and classes also the navigation
from the genmodel to the generated classes is nice. I have a few questions:
- I could not find a preference page (it wasn't under java > appearance), I think it was mentioned somewhere in the wiki.
- Is it somehow possible to define the 'generated NOT' pattern so that also generatedNOT would work?
- If a generated class has a method with 'generated NOT' then the method is coloured red but the class is coloured blue.
Is there a way to give a class a different colour (orange or something) if it has manual changes (so without setting the
whole class to 'generated NOT')?

Awesome, glad to hear you find it useful.

Try General -> Appearance -> Colors and Fonts, JDT Extensions for EMF
(legacy label, should rename to Mint)

Not yet, but it's doable. Can you please file a bug/feature request? I
think the intention was to use @generated vs. @generated<anything else>,
basically the same logic used by the merger.

Likewise -- not yet but it should be possible to implement relatively
easily. Please file lots of bugs (so I'm not the only one doing it) :-)
Thanks!

Hi Peter,
Here they are:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=308680
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=308681

I entered them on 0.8.0 but as Helios (and Mint 0.9.0) is around the corner for me 0.9.0 is also fine.

Thanks!

gr. Martin
