Re: [ jEdit-users ] Highlighting function names in java mode

[Slava P. <sp...@gj...>]

jEdit's syntax highlighting doesn't currently support regular expressions,
(read the docs to find out what it does support) so this sort of thing
is not possible. In the future, we will enhance the syntax highlighter
to recognize more syntax.
