In order to enable the syntax highlighting in TextPad, you will need to implement the following procedure for each document class, as in the example below:

Click on:

1. Configure
2. Preferences
3. Plus sign next to Document Classes
4. Plus sign next to "Java"
5. Syntax
6. Check the "Enable syntax highlighting" box.
7. Under the heading "Syntax definition file" Select
"java.syn".
8. Click Apply / OK

Please ensure that *.java is a member of the Files in class as follows:

1. Configure
2. Preferences
3. Plus sign next to Document Classes
4. Java
5. Under the heading "Files in class", make sure that *.java is in the list. If it is not there, then you will need to add it to the list, along with any other file extensions that you are using for Java files.
6.Click Apply / OK
