Does anyone know how I can get Eclipse (w/ StatET) to highlight matching brackets within strings?

For example I have the following in the editor:

"this is a a string (asdf)"

I would like the matching parenthesis to be highlighted when my cursor is over the other one.

    AFAIK, bracket matching only works for code, not text. – Andrie Feb 20 '12 at 17:50
  • how does notepad++ do it? it seems to work on text there. – Alex Feb 20 '12 at 18:02
  • it seems this must be an option to turn on and off since if i just type my string without the quotes the matching works.. i can just add the quotes later i guess but this is not fun. – Alex Feb 20 '12 at 18:08
