Enabling Syntax Highlight for Velocity Files in Eclipse

Hi Forks,

I've been working with a new Greenbox module, which will allow Eclipse developers to use Greenbox Framework easier.

I that worked, I did a really nice thing, I associate a *.vm file with Java Editor, and in a few seconds I had Velocty Editor with All syntax highlight necessary to create and edit Velocity templates for Greenbox.

Take a look how to Enable it on your enviroment:

I hope this could be as useful as it was to me!

• Edgar, the word is syntax.

• Hi Edgar,
  I have been studying plugin-development in eclipse to do the same thing but I prefer the greenbox approach. My plan was to use the eclipse-apt to initate & execute code generation but I really like the concept behind greenbox. I will like to be involved in building eclipse-plugin for greenbox. I have applied to be a developer on this greenbox team. I look forward to working with the rest of the team.
