Color highlighting not working - maybe I'm missing something

[gregorydimitriadis]

Hello - I believe color highlighting should be working on the comparison view (side by side of two code files). It could be that the code I forked off from does not have it yet; this is where I have forked off from: 6eb1da8

Should this be working from this point? If so, there may be other factors at play, and I can provide any configuration I have at the moment, whatever's helpful.

Side-question- should clicking the MatchTable rows automatically go to the point in the code it is referencing?

Yes, the highlighting was broken, we fixed this with #1512. The new version that includes this will probably be released next week.
Regarding new languages: From the new release on [this](https://github.com/jplag/JPlag/wiki/4.-Adding-New-Languages#adding-code-highlighting-to-the-report-viewer) needs to be considered regarding highlighting from a developer perspective. For users, everything should work by default for existing languages.

I thought the question referred to syntax highlighting, not match highlighting. Thus adapted.

In the new report viewer, matches in the code comparison view can be clicked to jump to the corresponding code. I hope that answers your second question.

Thanks - I'm guessing this may not be my issue, as the language I'm attempting to do this with is Java. Also, neither of the files from that doc page exist in the code I am presently using.

Does this issue persist even when using https://jplag.github.io/JPlag/?

[gregorydimitriadis]

It does occur there as well, yes.

Can you provide us with a code example? either a report zip or code snippets?

@tsaglam Here is the (anonymized) files I used for a test: result.zip

The command that I executed to build it:

jdk-17.0.2/bin/java -jar jplag-4.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar -l java -n 1000000 --cluster-skip -bc basefile_dir/Transit.java files_dir > out.txt

And the contents of out.txt:

We will take a look at it. For now, using our newest released version might help.
