Originally from .

Here’s how you enable it:
1.Download this XML file (click RAW button in upper-left corner)
2.Import the file: Language → Define your language... → Import
3.Restart the application.

Files with .log extension automatically use this syntax highlighter, but you can always activate it manually: Language → Log4J. You can also adjust the colors and/or keywords using the same dialog, no XML hacking needed.

Thanks! i appreciated that, just a thing, its possible chage the color of the className? One more time, thank you!
