Eclipse plugin markers

[gaspard]

Hello,

I would like to know how I can create my own markers for my plugin and have them displayed on the standard editor's vertical bar.

Thanks in advance.

Do you want the marker in the eclipse editor or the runtime editor?

I want them in the editor. In fact I managed to have them dispayed using the following code.

Map<String,Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
MarkerUtilities.setLineNumber(map, lineNumber);
map.put(IMarker.MESSAGE, "some message");
MarkerUtilities.createMarker(res, map, MARKER_ID);

Now I have another problem: in the upper code the text "some text" appears when you place the mouse cursor over the marker(from the editor). I want to know if I can introduce some stylized text (f.e. bold or italic characters) in this text or if I can change the font size. Any hints?

Thanks
