Highlighting lines in eclipse, like with a textmarker

Question

In Eclipse Helios I want to highlight selected lines using a custom background color, like one would do with a text marker for normal text on paper.

How can I do tha

Answer 1

Yes, there is. Atleast as a workaround.

Mark a line as a bookmark; Right click on the line number field in the java editor, choose "Add bookmark" The go to preferences; General - Editors - Text Editors - Annotations. Choose bookmarks in the table, select "Text as highlighted"
