Ok, what's Eclipse done now?

What is this blue highlight and how do I get rid of it?

It showed up when I did a search for existing usages of addPropertyOverride, opened up the ItemClock (it was faster than using the package explorer), and now it won't go away.

Do a quick search of nothing

That's Eclipse just highlighting your search for you for all found instances. I'm going to look for a better way to tell Eclipse to clear the search results

 

Remove your matches in the search view, that will remove the highlighting. I.e., click the button with the two X's in the search view.

 

If you cannot see that view, navigate to window -> show view -> Search

I think sometimes eclipse just gets confused after a search and messes up the highlighting. Clearing the search results should work (the double-cross "remove all matches" icon at the top right of the search tab).

Thanks.

I was darn sure that it cleared when I closed the search window, which is what I've done in the past (though I haven't even seen it highlight a whole bloody method, just the object name before).

I think it's highlighting the whole lot because the IItemPropertyGetter block is all still within the addPropertyOverride method's arguments.

Yay, eclipse.
