Thanks - but I still can't seem to get it back - the function was any time I selected a word eclipse would highlight all the other words in yellow - where is that command at?<br />

Hi, <br />
I have been using eclipse for a couple of months now and all has been great except the yellow syntax highlight is now gone. I do not know what I did not make it go away but when I select any text in my code it no longer highlights - any ideas why? Where do I turn this setting on and off? <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

highlighting java syntax in eclipse

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
