Hi,

Running Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers on Linux x86_64.
Version: Oxygen Release Milestone 5 (4.7.0 M5)
Build id: 20170202-1353

When using the new target file editor based on the generic text editor the colours are unreadable. I assume that it’s simply not styled yet.

Hey Rombertw, Thanks for reporting this issue. We will have a look at it.

This was an interesting one — seems Eclipse team has some new wizards to make generic editors though they guide developers towards hard coding colors! Happy to report that we have a new way to intercept these sorts of color configurations for editors in a generic way — essentially intercepts any editors that don’t have light foreground colors configured and works with Oxygen nicely. That said, given it is doing low-level interception of editor colors, we’re going to use this in-house for development & QA for a week or so to make sure we don’t cause other oddities.

Pro : We can make sure essentially all structured editors automatically get light colors even if no explicit mapping is provided yet.
Cons : We need to QA this longer so our bigger CI 4 release will come out about a week after originally planned.

Thanks for the great feedback on what you find!
