Hi,

Is there a plugin to enable more syntax colors than offered by Eclipse IDE.

I would like to color reserved words, identifier and symbol in different
colors.

Thx...

You can customize the colours used by the built in editors (e.g. the Java
editor).

You may well need to write your own plug-in for this. Getting an editor with
basic syntax colouring up and running isn't too hard, but anything beyond
that gets frustrating :-)

Maybe if you post more details of exactly what you're doing..?

I am switching from one tool to other (eclipse) and I need to see the
familiar syntax colloring otherwise I am confused most of the time.

It is hard to believe how one can become dependant on the such little
things.

Never mind... Not planing making the plug-in.
Thanks for answer :)
