XML based syntax highlighting, comes with the following:

* C/C++
* Java
* Perl
* XML
* Makefile
* Lua
* Diff files

It looks like it already supports java.

does it work on other distros besides Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, Fedora Core 6 and Debian lenny/sid, i try not to use these type of distros if i can greatly help it so hopefully it works in gentoo.

I believe it does - but I dont have any package built for these distros.
I above distors are the ones that I know for sure that CodeLite is running. I am using wxWidgets as the framework, so it should be able to run on other distros as well, but you will need to build it from sources, details instructions of how to do it can be obtained here:

If you face problems with the build, post a message here:
