I use a company specific plugin to Eclipse IDE, to be able to view and modify our ERP system's script files.
When I change the syntax coloring, it is not affecting the base font color in the code editor.
Question:
Does anyone know which .jar file in Eclipse IDE folder I should modify to change the code's main/basic font color in Eclipse ?
I tried various context of syntax coloring in Eclipse's preferences ... and none of it works.
Any help much appreciated

I am using the Eclipse dark theme. A lot of my projects, however, require the use of text files for various reasons. Because the text is black, and the editor is black, I cannot read the text in these files if I view them in eclipse. I found where to change colors for things like .c .java etc (preferences->general->appearance->colors and fonts) but I don't see where I can change the text color for .txt files.
Is it possible to make .txt files readable in Eclipse's dark theme? Or do I need to switch back to the white theme?
I found an answer online which said to follow the path (General>Appearance>Editors>TextEditors) but I don't have this path. I assume the options hierarchy must have been updated in the last major release of Eclipse.
I was using Eclipse Luna. Upgrading to Eclipse Mars fixed my issue.
I am using Eclipse Luna on Mac OS and I've installed the Eclipse Color Theme plug-in. After choosing the color theme that I liked, I edit it under the Eclipse->Preferences->Java->Editor->Syntax Coloring, where I disable Bold for all syntax elements.
The thing is that, after I close and restart Eclipse, all the Syntax Coloring changes I've made were lost, and it's back with the old ones...
So, how can I prevent Eclipse from forgetting these settings?
As far as I know Eclipse saves every setting in the "workspace". If you switch workspaces your style wont save between workspaces. If you are in the same workspace, then I don't know why its not saving.
I'm not talking about the themes we can easily import and edit the textpad and code coloring with.
What I'm wondering is just like the firefox themes where the frame of the window and buttons can change colors. Is there a theme option for the actual editor not the text pad?

If you are using Eclipse Juno (4.2), there is a plugin for this: https://github.com/jeeeyul/eclipse-themes (of course, the .css files in the application can also be edited manually)
I have to use both IDEs and I would like to use the Eclipse style of syntax highlighting in Netbeans. Does any one know how to import it (or change any configuration file)? I've already set Netbeans to use the Eclipse key bindings.
Is there any better way than manually changing the colors of every keyword for the Java editor?
Thanks,
Luís
You can change the style of syntax highlighting in NetBeans by going to Tools > Options and selecting the Fonts & Colors tab.
In order to import a syntax highlighting profile use the Import button from the above mentioned Options window.
A ready-to-use Eclipse-like syntax highlighting profile for NetBeans can be found here: https://github.com/Boris-de/eclipsecolors_for_netbeans/downloads.
In addition to what cristiantolnai said, for mac users, go to NetBeans -> Preferences -> Fonts & Colors and the import button on the bottom left.
As far as I know this is not possible yet. Both IDEs have different systems to store settings on global or project level. I know that there is a plugin that lets you import Ecplise projects into NetBeans.
I'm using eclipse for a few months, I realy like gvim better but eclipse makes my life easier with pydev and phpeclipse. Everything is pretty nice, I have a black fluxbox and black GTK themes, I've changed the syntax colors for py and php and now everything is dark background, light foreground (including the eclipse menu/borders/etc), very nice.
But.. I can't find a way to change the syntax colors for html files. It's really bad, occasionally I will want to open a html file in eclipse and standard text is black (same as my background). I've changed every background-related color setting I could find but the html editor's colors don't change. Am I missing something? Does anyone know how to change this?
You need to install the WTP plugin to add all that HTML/JS/CSS support.
I would also recommend using the PDT plugin for all your PHP needs.
After installing these plugins.. you should be able to access their properties in Window>Preferences...
Hope this helps :)
For others who may not be as familiar with the Preferences for Eclipse you can find most of these color settings (once you have the plugins mentioned here installed) at:
Preferences > Text editors > Appearance color options
and
Preferences > Appearance > Colors and Fonts
Don't forget to use the search features built into the Eclipse preference panes to find the exact element you are trying to modify.
