Emacs can color your java code to make it easier to find errors. If you want to put color onto a Java file that you are editing, you simply use the Emacs command:
Meta-x font-lock-mode
If you want this done permanently to every .java file you edit in Emacs, you
simply add the following line to the .emacs file in your home directory:
(setq java-mode-hook '(lambda () (font-lock-mode 1)))Note that this does not alter the code you are writing in any way, Emacs only colors it so it is pretty to look at.
