Highlight all occurrences of a search string in the Java Eclipse Editor

If you are looking for a line editor in Netbeans Java editor, it automatically selects all occurrences of that line.

But how can I achieve this feature in Eclipse?

(I checked Settings> Java> Editor> Mark Objects, but it looks like this only applies to similar variables, etc., but not for search matches)

You can turn on "Toggle Mark Occurrences" (shortkey is ALT + SHIFT + O ).

For the color of the selected text, you can:

Window-> Settings-> General-> Editors-> Text Editors-> Annotations-> Events

Hope this is helpful.
