Hi, I would like to programmatically mark a given IJavaElement with a specific background color. Which is the best way to do it?

I can open the editor corresponding to the element:

editorPart = JavaUI.openInEditor(elementToShow);
if (editorPart != null)
JavaUI.revealInEditor(editorPart, elementToShow);

and find start and end position of the element inside the editor:

int startCol = element.getColumnNumber(0);
int startLine = element.getLineNumber(0);
int endCol = element.getColumnNumber(cu.getLength()-1);
int endLine = element.getLineNumber(cu.getLength()-1);

but then I am stuck...

Add your own annotations to the document. This might help:
