How can I configure the color of JSF EL expressions that use deferred syntax within my JSP editor?
For example:

<h:inputText id="name" value="#{bean.name}"/>

The “#{bean.name}” text shows up in a dark color, which is almost
invisible to me, due to my background being set to black. I cannot find a way
to configure the foreground color of this content type in any of “{JSP, XML, HTML} styles” configuration
windows in Eclipse’s Preferences dialog. I’ve read
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/xml-syntax-highlighting/#post-228095,
but this doesn’t appear to have the information I need.

thanks,

This color is currently set on following preference page: General->Editors->Test Editors/Foreground color

I filed a bug report for adding a separate setting for this but it is unlikely we will add this feature this late on our M2 development cycle.

Thank you for the pointer, however “General->Editors->Text Editors/Foreground color” does not seem to affect the color of *deferred* EL expressions in the JSP editor. Note that deferred EL expressions “#{…}” have a color setting that is distinct from normal EL expressions “${…}”, and I can configure the color of normal EL expressions.

thanks for any additional help,
