Because it costs time and cpu to do this, especially on large files. And not everyone wants it, I for one find it hugely annoying the way Eclipse highlights the [expletive deleted] out of everything. Also purely textual highlighting in code is only useful in some simple languages like C [ducks @b4n volley] whereas more sophisticated languages with overloading and scopes its highly misleading. Its possibly useful in text of course, so its in a plugin. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
