Eclipse Web Tools Platform and syntax hightlighting

[DavidPérez]

I have Eclipse 3.1 and Oxygen 5.1.0 works ok.
Now I have installed the Web Tools Platform 0.7 (http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/index.html).

It provides a CSS editor with more features than the one provided with Oxygen, whereas I prefer Oxygen for general XML editing.

The problem is that now Oxygen doesn't highlight syntax with colors.
If I open the Window | Preferences | oXygen | Syntax hightligth | XML Colors and hit the Apply button, normal colors are restored, but for new content I add, only black color is shown.

Any hint for solving this?

I forgot to mention that the problem is for XML, XSLT and RNG files.

Hi David,

The oXygen 5.1 plugin is for Eclipse 3.0. There were API changes between Eclipse 3.0 and Eclipse 3.1 and even the oXygen 6.0 plugin does not work on Eclipse 3.1.

Best Regards,
George

Confirmed that this problem also happens with Oxygen 6.1.1.

Hi David,

The syntax coloring problem may be releted with an Eclipse bug related with isolation of plugins handling the same documents, see:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=96917

Do you still see that exception you osted with 6.1.1?

Best Regards,
George

No, I haven't seen it.

Hello,

If I open the Window | Preferences | oXygen | Syntax hightligth | XML Colors and hit the Apply button, normal colors are restored, but for new content I add, only black color is shown.

Any hint for solving this?

We implemented and tested a workaround for the Eclipse bug. It will be available in <oXygen/> version 6.2.

Best Regards,
Sorin

I am having the exact same problem -- all text is black unless I click "Apply" in XML Colors. This started after installing Exadel Pro. But I like Oxygen better for xml. help!

You have to wait until September for the 6.2 release.

I hope that helps,

Hi!

Same issue here with Oxygen 6.1 and eclipse 3.1 on osx 10.4.2.

Any news about when Oxygen version 6.2 will be released?

[maulin]

i'd settle for a pre-release! please!

[george]

Please contact us at support at oxygenxml dot com and we will make available a pre-release version. That will actually help double checking that the syntax coloring works ok with other plugins in oXygen 6.2.

Best Regards,
George
