Adding Semantic Highlighting to comments in CEditor in Eclipse [message #1526692]

I am trying to extend CDT CEditor for adding formal verification specifications for C code. Formal Verification specification is added as comments in C file. So I want to perform semantic highlighting of comments in CEditor.

Can anyone help me how can I proceed to implement semantic highlighting for CEditor? Most of the functions related to semantic highlighting in CEditor.java are either private or protected. I am not sure what is the best approach to add this functionality. Any help will be appreciated.

If you want to highlight keyword start by creating an implementation of ICLanguageKeywords. Then extend the GCCLangauge class and override the getAdapter method to return your implementation. Then register your subclass of GCCLanguage with the ILanguage extension point. Then to see the changes, open the Language Mappings preference page and map the C content type to your language.
