Eclipse 3.0 changing preferences

Thread view: 
Carsten H. Pedersen - 20 Sep 2004 17:02 GMT
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?
