Personally, I am a very visual-oriented sort of person. A long list of classes, especially with similar names, in one package in Eclipse can be a pain to stare at. Is there an Eclipse plugin or a way to annotate classes in the Package Explorer with colors?
I am aware of and currently use Eclipse working sets, but I would like to furtherly color-label the classes themselves in the package explorer list.
Seems like a pretty far-fetched request, but is it possible?
Yes there is an plugin call Resource Decorator Check this blog for more details.
Check the motivation section:
While working with mylyn and working sets helps to organize the workspace, I was always missing some visual distinction between different project types. Like having different colors for plug-ins and features or highlight important files.
You can use regular expression to decorate a set similar resources.
