Re: [gef-dev] how to highlight my key word in editor

[Christophe Ponsard <chp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

this is probably not the right place to discuss this

but have a look at the following API:
org.eclipse.jface.text.presentation
org.eclipse.jface.text.rules

my experience was with eclipse 2.0.1, some change may have occured
but basically you have to extend a rule based scanner and
introduce it in the appropriate way in the eclipse
content manager. Here is a typicall (constructor)
extension of a RuleBasedScanner

// rule list
List rules = new ArrayList();

// defining token and colors (use a separate ColorManager for colors)
IToken logical =
new Token(
new TextAttribute(
manager.getColor(AlloyConfiguration.LOGICAL)));

//Add rule for comments
rules.add(new EndOfLineRule("//", comment));
rules.add(new EndOfLineRule("--", comment));
rules.add(new MultiLineRule("/*","*/", comment));

//Add rule for keywords
WordRule wr=new WordRule(new AlloyWordDetector(),otherword);
wr.addWord("assert",keyword);
wr.addWord("but",keyword);
rules.add(wr);

// registering rules
IRule[] result = new IRule[rules.size()];
rules.toArray(result);
setRules(result);

Hope this helps
C.
