My Eclipse IDE wouldn't highlight similar text/variable in Java code, till yesterday it was working fine. Today if I click on a variable inside a class it would not highlight same variable present elsewhere in class. Should I enable any thing in IDE?

Just out of interest why are you using eclipse over NetBeans? I'm new to Java and am currently deciding on which to use and am leaning to NetBeans. – griegs Aug 02 '10 at 02:43

Please check
'Toggle Mark Occurrences' enabled (It is in the tool bar or use shortcut Alt + Shift + O).
Checks the preference. Go to 'Preference' then navigate to 'General --> Editor --> Text Editors --> Annotations --> Occurrences'.

Thanks a lot for the answer. I was trying new keyboard shortcuts and something toggled my Mark Occurrences. I was confused but now this solved my issue. – chong Aug 17 '12 at 07:15

I found the answer, I had to toggle mark occurrences alt+shift+o. If any one faces this issue you can try this to fix it.

To avoid the issue in the future you could unbind alt+shift+o as I assume this issue occured as you accidentally pressed alt+shift+o without realizing that is was a key binding. – jontejj Apr 12 '13 at 14:25

Make sure Preference - > Annotations - Occurrences Text as checkbox list value should have selected Highlighted.
