Hi,
I'm using the latest version of TM with all the updates applied on Tiger 10.4 with all the latest updates.
This is a really minor thing but it would be nice to have fixed. I suspect it's just a regex tweak that's needed.
If I write a method declaration in an interface:
public interface MyInterface {
public void somethingSpecial(Object foo, Object bar) throws SomeException, AnotherException;
public String getName();
}
Then it breaks the highlighting.
If I put it all on the one line then it works fine.
Cheers,
Chris

This is a known issue. And it's not just Java. For performance reasons, TextMate examines only one line of the file at a time when matching against the grammar's regular expressions. No one line of your declaration is a match for the regular expression.
While you could modify the grammar to accept an incomplete declaration, it would probably result in lots of false positive matches.
Allan has mentioned he wants to address this in version 2.

Ah ok thanks. It's not really a big issue for me :) I've been using TM for nearly a year and I still think it's by far the best editor available between windows, linux and mac.

Actually, I said “not even for 2.0”: http://lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2007-June/020383.html
There is some stuff in 2.0 related to multi-line constructs, but I think it is really only useful for Markdown.
Long-term; probably, but 2.0; most definitely not.
