Guys,

I have search the forumn and google (I've also looked at source for a few
other plugins) and I have yet to come up with a strait foreward solution.
Basically I need to know the best way to propagate changes in color
choices to editors that are currently opened (of course editors that
arn't open will get the changes with they open). Any help is appreciated.

thanks,
eric

The way that I was able to do this was to call the
invalidateTextPresentation() method in the SourceViewer for the editor. I'm
not certain if there's a better way, but it worked for me.
