Colorer Plugin in Eclipse Helios

I've been unable to get the wonderful Eclipse Colorer plugin to work with my current copy of Eclipse (Helios 64 bit). It installs ok but whenever I attempt to open a source file 开发者_JAVA百科I get this error:

Error in initialization of native part of the Colorer library. This can be caused by absent net_sf_colorer.dll (libnet_sf_colorer.so) library in paths of java machine. Or, colorer can't find catalog.xml file, which must be placed in '%PLUGIN_DIR%'/colorer/catalog.xml' Could not initialize class net.sf.colorer.ParserFactory

It has nothing to do with the version of Eclipse. Try a 32-bit Version, AFAIK Eclipse Colorer has no support for 64-bit.

I actually managed to make it run on a 64bit eclipse (indigo) by compiling my own version of Colorer. Once you know it's pretty easy: first you get the svn version:

svn co https://colorer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/colorer/trunk/ trunk
cd trunk/eclipsecolorer/libnative
mkdir objs # not sure why make cannot do that..
make -f makefile.macos_64

Then you must create a new x86_64 directory in your eclipse plugin, and copy the lib there. In my case it was:

mkdir /Applications/eclipse/plugins/net.sf.colorer_0.9.8/os/macosx/x86_64
cp libnet_sf_colorer.jnilib /Applications/eclipse/plugins/net.sf.colorer_0.9.8/os/macosx/x86_64/
