Modifying the java editor [message #146829]

Is it possible to modify the behavior of a plugin through another plugin?

I'm trying to change the behavior of the java editor to add text
highlighting
for different things in code. Ie: highlight any occurence of a certain
string, or anything simple like that.

I've looked through the documentation and I can't seem to figure this out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

PS: Point me to the right place if I'm posting in the wrong place.

The Java editor is not public in general but there are some extension
points, e.g. to provide your own content assist processors or your own
folding structure provider. There's currently no extension point for
what you desire to do.
