I wish to make a basic syntax highlighter plugin for eclipse.
I work as a Java programmer and am very used to it.
However i am starting my 3rd year university project now and I am using
occam. I wish to create a plugin for eclipse for the occam language
starting with a basic syntax highlighter can anyone point me in the right
direction thank you :)

Eclipse.org maintains a mailing list/archive; people on this list are
usually quite willing to help.

You can get all the help you will need in the Eclipse newsgroups, just
point your newsreader to news.eclipse.org and select the relevant
newsgroups.
Other than that, have a look here:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-does-plugins/PDE-intro.html
and other articles at:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/index.html
to get started.
Also, you could go to http://eclipse-plugins.info and have a look at
some syntax highlighting plugins, a lot of them are open source and
should provide some good example code for your plugin.
Should you decide to go for another project, but still want occam
highlighting in Eclipse, have a look at
http://colorer.sourceforge.net/
They provide a syntax coloring plugin which should be easily
configurable to support any language.

I think u can use Jedit's syntax highlighting package..
its freely available at jedit.org.
