Eclipse, colorer and theme conversion

There is a great Colorer plugin for Eclipse, a wonderful first and foremost huge range of supported languages. Alas, but the bundle of the backlight goes to it quite a bit, and it is clear that it is more convenient for everyone to use their own “native” scheme.

For example, I really like the Digerati theme, but since I didn’t have love with vim, this theme was successfully turned into understandable by gedit (which, in turn, turns into a great tool for python development) using the vim2gtksourceview utility. Naturally, I really wanted to transfer it to eclipse, and for this purpose a small gedit2colorer converter was written. The converter is far from perfect - it can convert the theme not quite as it should, but it does play the role of a starting point for the transfer.

Problems:

• The color of the active line from the Colorer is not set, so the script throws the desired color into the console, which needs to be entered by hand in Eclipse
• Alas, in colorer there is no analogue of preprocessor which, for example, allocates import in python, this can be solved by modifying the hrc files, but for me it is not worth the time spent
• PyDev sets the color scheme itself and disables it does not allow :(

How to add your own theme in Colorer

After conversion, it is necessary to perform 2 additional operations.

1. Copy the topic to the right place, or immediately convert it there
./gedit2colorer.py ./digerati.xml ./eclipse/plugins/net.sf.colorer_0.8.0/colorer/hrd/rgb/digerati.hrd

2. Add it to the list of topics in the file ./eclipse/plugins/net.sf.colorer_0.8.0/colorer/hrd/catalog-rgb.xml
')
I hope someone will be useful, wishes are accepted.

PS

With the last Exlips, only the 0.8 version of the Colorer works, which is not in the repository and needs to be handled.
