I have change the eclipse preferences in order to change the look & feel as well the fonts of the java editor.

After modifying the preferences i am not highlight all the variables in in the code snippet/Method. For example in below code if i double click on word "test" it should highlight all the word "test" in the methods but instead of that it only highlights the double clicked "test" word but my editors fails to highlight all the words. However on opening javascript file selecting the "test" word highlights all the refereed "test" word in that code block. Please suggest!!

public static void mySampe() {

String test ="";

test = "abc" + "def"; // my editor does highlight this "test" word

}
