editor plugin color preferences question [message #466216]

I am writing an editor plug-in with the ability to change the color of the
syntax highlighting through a preferences dialog. I can not figure out how
to handle the propertyChangeEvent though. Anyone have any ideas on what
steps I need to take to propagate the color change so that it appears in
the editor?
Thanks for any advice.

You will probably get a better response to this question in the
eclipse.platform newsgroup:

You have to register your editor with the ThemeManager.
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getThemeManager().addPropertyChagn eListener(this);
