How can I change this bit of text to white within Eclipse/CFPlugin?


Try as I might, I just can't find the place to edit the color of ColdFusion variables within Eclipse. I absolutely hate writing against a white background, as it wears out my eyes, and so I'm trying to migrate to a customized IDE that will be easier to read and easy to debug syntactically. Here's some example code.

As you can see in the top row, the variable names are still black.


Solution

  • Well - I used to use CFeclipse, check in Project | Properties

    this is a Charlie Arhart blog with links to legit cf developers specifically using CFEclipse.

    The list of CFEclipse category feeds in this post:

    this is the guy who wrote most of it - his blog on CFEclipse, Mark Drew http://www.markdrew.co.uk/blog/archives.cfm/category/cfeclipse

    This guy has a useful lists of shortcuts for CFEclipse - some of them formatting, like [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[Z] - color picker... http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2008/7/10/Important-shortcuts-for-Eclipse-and-CFEclipse
