Description Konstantin Scheglov CLA 2003-08-27 00:27:07 EDT 
Recently "Method names" and "Operator and brackets" were added. This is great,
but also gives one idea: why not create several good color themes for syntax?
For example, like in "Colorer" plugin for Eclipse: Neo, Grayscale, White, Navy,
Black, etc.

I have noted that with no intervention from my end, the text coloring defaults which were fine, seemed to disappear, and, the code now appears in black, with a spell check that is more of a nuisance than help most of the time.

Eclipse Build: M20110210-1200 on WinXP SP3.

Is it possible that this issue has higher priority, or otherwise is it possible to have a default settings file for restoring the default color settings for text?

Syntax within the editor window is not colored, however, the preview suggests that it should be colored, is it possible to retrieve some colored settings file and restore the original settings for Eclipse 3.6.2?

Build id: M20110210-1200.

The screen shot shows that the *.java file got opened in the Text instead of the Java editor (no idea why). Therefore of course no coloring.

I see, so I must have opened the text editor when I double clicked on the file, however, I am not sure how the default behavior changed for this particular folder, because I left the default Eclipse settings, and, as a matter of fact had some issues with the spell checker making a "fuss" of Java keywords, which are expected to be there. 

So I guess the change in default "double click" behavior is an OS glitch, sometimes it happens with other applications on my laptop, negotiating over mouse and keyboard events :)  I guess...
