It seems that the default settings for the JSP Color Highlighting are not set or are set to black and white.
Is this correct? and If yes could you set a better default setting?
Thanks

Your are correct about the default B&W coloring as defaults. The next release will include more appealing default colors across all editors. Thanks for your feedback.

That’s really great! I was just about to “complain” about the syntax highlightning myself 🙂
I must that I like the coloring in EditPlus (www.editplus.com) and jEdit (www.jedit.org). Further more, the catalog and mode files in xml that jEdit uses are quite nice.
There is a colorEditor plugin for Eclipse (http://gstaff.org/colorEditor/) which makes Jedit’s catalog and mode files. Isn’t that (the use of jEdit’s file) something you could adapt? There is already a bunch of mode files – no need the reinvent the wheel.
Sincerely,
JimisolaThanks for the feedback. In an effort to get EA1 out the door some cosmetics were not as spruced as we would have liked. I assure that the product is only getting better and developer feedback is given great consideration to improve the MyEclipse user experience.
We talked with Chris at gstaff regarding use of the colorEditor. At that time colorEditor contained jedit GPL code and it was not clear to either Chris or MyEclipse that it could be used by MyEclipse. This is the nature of commercializing open-source under n number of license models each with its own restrictions.

MyEclipse SupportOpen source and GPL has it drawbacks sometimes 🙂
Anyway, if you decide to make syntax highlightning more customable – would making use of jEdit’s xml file structure (xmode.dtd) and files that people have created be a violation of GPL?
I’m sure you’ll end up with fine solution to syntax highlightning even if it’s not jEdit’s.
Keep up the good work.

PS. I haven’t been able to see any release dates on the site. Only “June” – beginning or end or “that depends”? 🙂 DS.
