Extend JDT semantic highlight [message #768070]

I'd like to extend default java editor in this way:
Some java methods are 'special' for the java framework I'm building (actually they are generated by my plugin, but this is not important).
I can identify them from either:

* AST
* Fully qualified name.
* Naming conventions

I'd like to see invocations to those methods to be "emphasized" (i could highlight or print in bold or create a marker - whatever is faster)

Can you provide a list of things to be done to achieve my goal?

Many thanks
Alex

The existing semantic and syntax coloring can't be extended. You would
have to implement something similar as JDT already does. The solutions
differs depending on whether you need an AST or not.
