Parse file to make sections non-editable

Hi,
short answer is: yes. I'd have to look up the details, but basically you could either use
the undocumented PSI (parse tree), or merely scan the editor contents for the comments.
You can intercept any editing action using com.intellij.openapi.editor.Document.addDocumentListener, and possibly call fireReadOnlyModificationAttempt to stop it, but I've never actually tried it.
Coloring can be done, I believe using the MarkupModel you can get from the Editor.
But others have played with this more than I. Check out any plugins that do
coloring and that provide source code.

Thanks,
Joe

no, firing the event won't do it. Seems you have to register an EditorActionHandler
for each editor action. But there may be a more general way...

I think it's quite easy to make the coloring in the editor but very
difficult to prohibit editing.

That's too bad. Of course, the added step would be to integrate with intellij's engine(s). That is, to make sure that added import statements are only added within free blocks, and to prevent refactorings such as rename when the target is within a guarded block.
I guess that's out.

Any hints as to how to do this?

For example, an ApplicationComponent or ProjectComponent?
What class(es) deal with the coloring of editor sections?

Thanks,
Joe

Editor.getMarkupModel()

Thanks for the incredibly quick response.

The only example I could find (with source) is the FunkySearchPlugin. That plugin's action, though, is triggered by a keyboard shortcut or click of a button.

How do I register a listener for a document opening/refreshing?

EditorFactory.addEditorFactoryListener() for openening. Refreshing is
quite a different thing. You may add documentListener to a particular
document for to all documents via EditorEventMulticaster thing.

Some highlighting stuff is used in PsiViewerPlugin AFAIK.

Luck!
