Details

Eclipse plugin for highlighting the background of the source code. While most of plugins highlight the syntax of the source code, EditBox highlights the selected block of the code (method, class, etc) by changing its background color and / or drawing border around it. It works with Java code as well as with indented text: markup and text files.

A new dimension of syntax highlighting

Submitted by Sebastian M. on Fri, 2009-12-11 09:46

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.
