I need to highlight some variables in Java editor by background
color. This highlighting must take place, when user clicked on the
word. What extention points should I use? What should I start with?
Where can I read something about this? Thanks!

Starting with the newest builds, you could add Annotations to the
document being edited and configure them to be shown as background
highlighting. See AnnotationPreference::getHighlightPreferenceKey().

To get informed when the caret position in the editor changes, have a
look at IPostSelectionProvider.
