Description Anton Danilchenko CLA 2009-06-08 07:52:15 EDT
In many IDE I create and select need for me code highlight schema. For example - black, Standart, PHP and other. But in eclipse I create my own schema and save with all my configuration (file->export). But I have send this schema to my friends, only highlight without other configurations.

Please, separate schemas to select it in preferences dialog.

I think this ultimately requires plug-ins (such as the PHP one you are using, whichever one that is) to leverage the preferenceTransfer extension point.
Comment 2 Anton Danilchenko CLA 2009-06-08 08:13:07 EDT
For example, see NetBeans. I select color schema from dropdown list and all source code change colors, fonts, background, etc.

How do it in Eclipse - great platform?

Remy, I am not sure I understand the enhancement request - do you?

I think it's either a) I want to import/export my PHP colours but it's not _individually selectable_ in the wizard and/or b) I wish to just say "export colours" and have Eclipse know to export my workbench part colour settings _and_ my syntax colouring settings (some kind of "global" colour-aware preferences functionality).

I am guessing A based on comment 0 and guessing B based on comment 2. I think satisfying A should be the first step and will ultimately satisfy most users.

OK, let's go route a) first. Sending to PDT so that they can consider using the preferenceTransfer extension point for this.
