Solution Description

Eclipse plugin for highlighting the background of the source code.

It works with Java code as well as with indented text: markup and text files.

This plugin is not working with the latest version of Eclipse JEE 2024-09. The icon is also not active and messages like

 

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
org/eclipse/ui/internal/misc/StringMatcher

I installed the version available on this Github site:

 

http://nodeclipse.github.io/dev.updates/editbox-1.0.0/

But lesser versions seem to work as discussed above.

 

Are there any issues associated with using the vesion on:

http://editbox.sourceforge.net/updates ?

Thanks.

I use eclipse Neon and this plugin does't works :( I've tried to disable "current line highlighting" but nothin happened...

Hi,

This plugin seems to be out of date, I got this error :
HTTP Server 'Service Unavailable': http:// editbox.sourceforge.net/updates/content.xml
HTTP Server 'Service Unavailable': http:// editbox.sourceforge.net/updates/content.xml
HttpClient connection error response code 503.

Regards,

This plugin adds a new domain of syntax highlighting by coloring code blocks with a background color. This makes it easy to distinguish different code blocks and greatly improves readability of the source code.
