Eclipse syntax coloring support includes support for Java properties files. The closest file extension configuration I could find inside SlickEdit 2007 for Java properties files is "ini". I tried adding a file extension to SlickEdit for "properties" referring it to the "ini" file extension but the resultant syntax coloring was much less than ideal.
Ideally (IMO), syntax coloring of a Java properties files should:
1. Use one color for the property name (left of = sign)
2. Use one color for the property value (right of = sign, string color will due)
3. Use # as the comment designator
4. Colorize the equals sign
How difficult would it be to add my own file extension configuration using Slick-C to support Java properties files?
