I am just starting with Eclipse 4.x. I have used the e4 Tools plugin to create a sample e4 Application. I am trying to use both StyledCellLabelProvider (in a TableViewer) and Content Assist (with ICompletionProposalExtension6). My styled-labels are not colored.

I have determined that the JFacePreferences.COUNTER_COLOR, DECORATIONS_COLOR and QUALIFIER_COLOR have not been set in the Color Registry.

I could set these in my plugin - but that could trash values set by some other plugin. The Eclipse 3.x apps seem to load these values at start-up but not when I create an e4 RCP app.

Can someone please explain - when/how these JFace preference values should be configured/loaded.

Thanks,

-Graeme
