Is there a way to visually separate an inherited class member, i.e. a variable that is defined public/protected in a superclass?
I noticed that it's possible to stylize abstract members separately...
I'm using Eclipse Ganymede.

Open Window > Preferences.
Select General > Appearence > Colors and Fonts on the left.
On the right select Java > Inherited Members, and choose color you want.
This color will be used in hierarchy view for inherited members.
Is there a way to do this to highlight the code in the editor?

I'm not aware of how to do that.

If you are talking about the editor, then you probably mean overridden methods (not inherited), right? If so, Eclipse indicates overridden methods in the editor with a green arrow pointing up to the left of the method signature. Clicking on the green arrow takes you to the super-classes implementation of the method.
As for actually changing the color of the text, I don't know - the green arrow has always been enough for me.

No, I mean inherited, protected or public, class variables. So, if I use a protected variable from the superclass, I would instantly know that I don't need to look for a definition of that variable in the current class definition.
