Re: [jdt-core-dev] Copying text in Java editor as HTML

You have to disable folding (left ruler
context menu > Folding > Enable Folding, Ctrl+Numpad_Divide) to get
styled (RTF) text in the clipboard.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=64498
.

You should use the newsgroups for such
questions (eclipse.tools.jdt in this case).
Mailing lists at eclipse.org are intended
for use by developers actually working on or otherwise contributing to
day-to-day development of eclipse itself.

Subject	[jdt-core-dev] Copying text in Java editor as HTML

Hi all.

I want to know if it is possible (or if there is a plugin) that would allow
me to highlight some text in the Eclipse Java editor, and paste it into
a different program (such as a word processor, email client, etc) as formatted,
coloured HTML text.  I seem to remember being able to do this in Eclipse
2.x in Windows, but I now use 3.0.1 on Linux and I can't seem to do this.

Help appreciated!

Cheers,
Manik
