Is there any possibility to turn on the highlighting for Classes and Objects in Eclipse like it is in Visual Studio? At the moment only the Variable names are highlighted.

Left: Eclipse, Right: Visual Studio 2012

Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring

Then just switch on / off what you want highlighted.

The question was intended for Java. But note that Syntax Coloring can be enabled/customized for other languages supported by Eclipse through "Preference -> [Language] -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring

Except that isn't what he asked for. Mark Occurrences dynamically highlights the selected token anywhere it's found in the file.
Thanks! for the "occurrences"; Eclipse wasn't marking my occurrences elsewhere in the file.
