[TxMt] Re: java (and probably other) highlighting

In short: it is a limitation of the parser.

There is an old, hard to find topic on that:

http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2007-June/020363.html

Basically the problem is that the parser only sees the document line- by-line. See the thread for some in-deep explanations on why it behaves like this.

Nevertheless, have a lot of fun hacking! Florian Gilcher

I'm a brand new user (and licensee) of TextMate and I am mostly very happy (and eager for the next release) but I am noticing a slight syntax highlighting problem.

I tend to write code like this (when argument lists get too long):

Widget w = new Wiget( x, y, z )

And that seems to break the highlighting. So sure, you might say, "you write code weird, get over it", but in writing an enum, in what I think is a "normal way", it also breaks it, e.g.:

private enum ImageInfo { WIDTH("100px"), HEIGHT("100px"); }

So I'm wondering if I can update the syntax file to account for this, and if so, how?

Thanks!
