What is the best way to correctly display JSON files with dark themes?

[gizmecano]

Using Eclipse PDT Neon.1 with its native Eclipse JSON Editors and Tools, most of the dark themes don't display correctly.

As Eclipse Color Themes is listed among the "plugins that extend or integrate with PDT", I wonder if this problem is only due to the themes I tried to use (dark ones) or if any relationship could exist with the issue opened on July 2011 by @fhd (cf. #63).

On the other hand, according to the current readme.md, Eclipse Color Theme is supposed to support the following editors for JSON:

• Json Eclipse Plugin, merged in added support for json plugin #131
• Eclipse Json Editor Plugin, merged in Add Eclipse Json Editor Plugin support. #188
• JsonTools, merged in Added support for the JsonTools. #191

Maybe the solution is to use one of these three editors ...

But in this case, can we hope soon the support of the native editor included in PDT?

Hi,

I couldn't get the default json editor from Php Development Tools to work properly, it complains about content-type, maybe it works anyway though.

I did look into the other ones though.
Json Eclipse Plugin: This project is deprecated and points to the Eclipse Json Editor Plugin
Eclipse Json Editor Plugin: the mapping for this plugin needs updating since the preference value for colors has changed.
JsonTools: as far as I can tell everything works fine with this one.

With regards to the Eclipse Json Editor Plugin I'll make a pull request with the updated preference values in a minute.
