Hello,

Following this torial, I'm stuck even before starting
How to create an editor with syntax highlighting for Java

i have doing this steps
Quote:

Download Java8u40 (at the time of this writing you need to use an EA build)
Download e(fx)clipse all-in-one downloads
Clone the following git-repositories:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.text.git/
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/

Now for the rest, sincerely i do not know where to start.
To implement the tutorial should we start with a simple JavaFX Application or an E4 JavaFX application, I am confused, I never writing editor for eclipse it's my first steps

there's a bug trackers ? or i will use e(fx)clipse to report a bug

for me i have a french Layout Keyboard,
for example to get opening brace i must press Alt Gr + 4 (doesn't work), also all the key combination fails.

after trying, it's the same things with english keyboard layout
for example to get capital letter :
Caps Lock + (letter) => work
Shift + (letter) don't work

Hi,

Of course there is a bugtracker. Anyways I went a head and reworked key
event handling while communting to work and hopefully fixed the problem
with https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=459973.

Please pull the efxclipse git repo and try out if things are now working
for you. I guess the current code only worked on OS-X and I hope this is
now working appropriately for cross platform apps.
