Simple syntax highlighting plugin in eclipse

You could probably add the jEdit Scala mode to the plugin described on
Code Commit by unjarring, placing the XML file in the appropriate
directory, editing the catalog file and then re-jarring the result.
However, I'm not even sure if the plugin is compatible with the latest
version of Eclipse.

Making a simple syntax highlighting plugin that works off of tokens (or regular expressions) is fairly simple in eclipse.   I believe the PDE's sample XML plugin project demonstrates this.  If you need any help setting this up, I can point you to the appropriate resources (once I find them agian).

Ideally I'd like to add a site upload, click Install and be able to display
scala code in eclipse with colors.

I'm running eclipse 3.4 under linux x86_64 (ubuntu 8.10).

I've tried the official eclipse plugin but there are too many steps to set
up a project and I still don't like it.

I've also tried general purpose syntax highlighting plugins, but nothing has
worked out of the box :
- color editor, as described here
http://www.codecommit.com/blog/eclipse/general-purpose-editor-within-eclipse
- eclipsecolorer : http://colorer.sourceforge.net/eclipsecolorer/

I've played with gedit, but the file browser isn't that great.

I'm going to play with jEdit but I'd like to stick to eclipse if I could.

Any suggestion for a robust simple highlighting solution that integrates
seamlessly with eclipse ?

Thanks, Bruno

It'd be good to have this rolled into the main plugin as a fallback
when the scalac-driven highlighting fails ...
