Hello
I'm kinda new to the whole java / eclipse world. I installed it, and it
works excellently. There's a problem with setting my preferences, though.
I go window -> preferences -> workbench -> editors -> text editor. Here i
mess with the values - for example changing the highlight colour. I then
click apply, and ok. Nothing changes, though - if i check the values,
they're the updated values. Same goes for all the values i've tried
manipulating.
Am i looking in the wrong place? Have anyone experienced this problem and
have a solution to it?
Regards,
Carsten H. Pedersen

Workbench is the Eclipse term for plugin development.
You want to change how _Java_ files appear, you need to
go to preferences -> Java > Editor > Syntax
then you can have fun with _Java_ file colors.

Thanks Paul! I was looking for what i did wrong in the wrong place, instead
of looking in the right place then. :) Works great now.

I have followed this advice but still don't see changes. I'm using J2EE perspective and when I try change colours and try to show line numbers it doesn't show. Any ideas?
