First let me say that I am very visual. I use coloring for a lot more elements than the default java syntax coloring. I color static methods and vars, I color abstract method calls and inherited calls different colors. I would like to be able to color Types based on the 'space' they come from. A simple example is java apis like java.* and javax.*. Although this is more of a 'super' space. Java types could be added to the specifically 'colored' list. i.e. I could pick that java api Types are Bright Green. However, to me the most important coloring I would like to be able to specify is that any Types being picked up from "java build path.libraries" could be given a separate color. i.e. Types from SunGameServer.jar (or any other external jar) are Dark Red. Especially with closed source jars, it is a real time saver to know that there is not even a reason to hover over the Types contained in it! It may also be helpful to even allow included external project Types to have a separate color. I am sorry if this doesn't fit the eclipse 'style' as it is evolving into an even more wonderful thing. It is something that I have been wishing for for a long time. Coding with the closed source sun game server convinced me it would be useful to add this coloring enhancement. Thanks! Ray Case
