help with custom Julia template

[Joachim Dahl]

I tried installing a Julia template for Colorer from here:

https://raw.github.com/JuliaLang/julia/master/contrib/julia.hrc

using these instructions:

http://ohadsc.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/adding-syntax-highlighting-for-new-languages-to-eclipse-with-the-colorer-library/

In other words, I copied the hrc file to colorer/hrc/auto/types and I updated colorer/hrc/auto/empty.hrc to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding='Windows-1251'?>

 <!DOCTYPE hrc PUBLIC

 "-//Cail Lomecb//DTD Colorer HRC take5//EN"

 "http://colorer.sf.net/2003/hrc.dtd"

 >

 <hrc version="take5" xmlns="http://colorer.sf.net/2003/hrc"

 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

 xsi:schemaLocation="http://colorer.sf.net/2003/hrc http://colorer.sf.net/2003/hrc.xsd"

 ><annotation><documentation>

 'auto' is a place for include

 to colorer your own HRCs

</documentation></annotation>

<prototype name="julia" group="main" description="Julia">

 <location link="types/julia.hrc"/>

 <filename>/\.jl$/i</filename>

 </prototype>

</hrc>







Then I attached filetypes, etc, and restarted Eclipse,  but there is no syntax highlighting.  My problem seems

similar to the problem reported here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/colorer/cuo4pQr0kEs

but I haven't been able see what changes I need to make.

Best regards

Joachim, hi.
1. check the file extension julia.hrc. When I kept the file from
Chrome his name became julia.hrc.txt
2. Check whether items 10-13 from
http://ohadsc.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/adding-syntax-highlighting-for-new-languages-to-eclipse-with-the-colorer-library/
. You had to add the extension *.jl

attached a screenshot. there are some phrases in Russian, do not pay attention.

Thank you for the prompt answer.

It seems that colorer/hrc/auto/empty.hrc is ignored on my system.  If I update colorer/hrc/proto.hrc instead, everything works.

Thank you for providing this software!

Hi,

I have the same experience. Editing auto/empty.hrc adds the definition to the list of languages, makes the files recognized by Eclipse plugin, but doesn't turn the hiliting on. It's somewhere deep in the implementation - i tried it with colorer.exe with the same results.

When I add into proto.hrc the same definition as I put into auto/empty.hrc (prepended auto/ to the file path, of cource) then everything works fine, as I've expected.

It took me some nasty hours to figure that empty.hrc is not the right way. :(

Where is that advice about empty.hrc comes from? The language definition is in separate file, the file is not autodiscovered (I don't know why there is "auto" in the folder name), so you specify that in proto.hrc and colorer.exe (or FarColorer) should work. For Eclipse there seems to be an extra step. If I am not mistaken, there are no people maintaining Eclipse code currently, so there is no answer how to handle that. I'd probably add a check that when scheme DB changes, Colorer shows messages about new schemes and link to preferences to enable them.

If you use Eclipse and know Java, it might be an interesting challenge to tackle, but be prepared to explain your hacking journey well. )
