supply syntax highlighting comparable with NetBeans and IDEA ones

There are plenty of tickets related to syntax highlighting. I suggest merge them all into this one. Saying "comparable" I mean a reflection of (almost) all Scala specific semantics (var/val/lazy/def/local-or-field/trait/object/class/type/implicit/... and so on). Say for NetBeans it took few hours of the developer's work to supply all of them. Is Eclipse is infected in this area? :-)

Matt Russell is working on #1000591, which will bring awesome semantic highlighting in the Scala IDE. This feature is planned for the 2.1 release, and I think it is very close to land in master (though, you should double check with Matt. You can look at the scala-ide-user ML for more information about this feature).

I'm invalidating the ticket as it is a duplicate of #1000591.

Mirco,

It seems like Matt has changed his plans (or, say, time limit takes place) wrt implementing the feature - he has last logged in 73 days ago. Is it possible to rise that ticket priority to attract somebody's attention?

Hi, I haven't been in touch with Matt lately but I guess he has been busy as hell, end of year usually has a tendency in bringing more work ;) If you want to have an update about semantic highlighting, just write an email in the scala-ide-dev mailing list, hopefully you will get an answer.

Raising the ticket's priority won't change anything, we are missing contributors. If you'd like to have a look and contribute to the feature, you are of course welcome! :) Just fork the scala-ide project and have a look at the branches, I think under feature/ you should see Matt's branch about semantic highlighting. Then get in touch with Matt and see if you can help in any way.
