multiple token/color highlighter in eclipse IDE - eclipse

As I'm a poweruser of Notepad++ 'Style token'-feature and Context Highlight Firefox-addon but mainly working with Eclipse (currently 4.5.1), I tried to find an equivalent solution as eclipse-plugin.
At the marketplace I came across Controlflow Code Search and Glance, but both did not meet my requirements.
Question is: is there a eclipse plugin available, which allows me to
highlight multiple tokens
in different colors
at the same time

Eclipse Generic Text Editor Sort OUtline

I thought this would be very simple to achieve but I cannot sort the outline in alphabetical order in the generic text editor that is now the default editor for javascript files in Eclipse 2020-12. In fact I have no sorting options whatsoever in the outline.
This is all I have in any perspective using the generic text editor.
This really affects my productivity having to sroll through many functions in a javascript file to find the correct one. I have hundreds of javascript files with hundreds of functions each.
I am using Wild Web Developer tools as this is the way Eclipse is heading (and because each update automaticaly installs it). Also I have node.js installed even though I don't require node.js for anything other than the generic text editor.
I'd prefer to not have the overhead of uninstalling Wild Web Devleoper and installing JDT each time Eclipse updates. Ideally, I should be able to simply update when prompted and all works as previously.
This is the Eclipse version I am using
Version: 2020-12 (4.18.0)
Build id: 20201210-1552
Does anybody have any idea how I can simply sort my functions and variables alphabetically in the generic text editor please? (I can sort the outline in java files

Better plugin for Julia autocomplete for Vs code

I am new to Julia and wanted to shift from Juno IDE to vs code. Juno has a pretty awesome auto-complete which shows which package a function comes from. I was wondering if there is an external plugin that I could install to get something similar to vs code. The vs code hovering to get the details of the function is good, but I definitely prefer the one Juno offers.
Here is a pic of the Juno autocomplete
There is only one official Julia VS Code Extension at the moment which does support autocompletion: https://www.julia-vscode.org
The different results you see is just a factor of what the various IDE's are searching for when they populate that autocomplete list.
Note that this is on the radar of the Julia VS Code team: https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/issues/1199

How to develop something as a group in Eclipse

My friend and I were searching for already built-in features in Eclipse or plugins that allow you to develop code in a group, or to be more specific, in a pair.
I found only a single plugin that provides such features, however it is quite hard to install.
Are there any simple solutions for Eclipse, or should I use a different editor?
You could use Git/GitHub or a similar form of version control. I am pretty sure Eclipse has built in support for Git.

CSS autocomplete in Eclipse

I have already gone through several similar questions on SO and elsewhere; none of them provides an answer, not a working one anyway.
When I type <div class="..., why doesn't Eclipse provide me the autocomplete list of available CSS classes in the project? AutoComplete works in PHP code without a problem.
Solutions I have tried:
Trying CTRL + SPACE shortcut.
Checking Code Assist options in Preferences.
Installing Aptana plug-in.
I'm using Eclipse Luna (PDT).
I do not believe that what you are looking for, is supported. I see where you are coming from, however the official documentation does not seem to offer what you want to achieve.

How does Eclipse identify Keywords

Eclipse - Code Assist, I want to know how to update the Eclipse code Assist.
ie. Keywords like instanceof , for , etc. Using Ctrl + Space will automatically insert corresponding words in Workspace.
If i want to create new Language support means. What should i do for keywords?
For support content Assist for a new language, I would recommend XText
The framework supports the development of language infrastructures including compilers and interpreters as well as full blown Eclipse-based IDE integration.
It includes code completion (as well as syntax highlighting, and many other Editor features).
