Syntax highligthing disappears in Grails project

[maurizi]

Hi there!

When I edit and edit and edit in a groovy file like MyDomainController.groovy then, from time to time, the colors turn to black and all the nice syntax highlighting is gone after pressing Ctrl+S in order to save the file.

After closing and reopening the file (e.g. simply by Alt+leftarrow) the colors are back.

I'm so used to STS and its syntax highlighting now that I don't want to miss it. What makes it happen that colors disapper in the normal editor?

Cheers,
Mauri

Hi Mauri,

There have been some recent fixes for syntax highlighting put into groovy eclipse - to address exactly the problem of syntax highlighting coming and going over time. If you update to the most recent dev build your problems should be solved. Use this update site:
