Does anyone know if it's possible to program ComputerCraft programs in the Eclipse IDE? I could install LUA, but I also want access to some minecraft specific API's, such as rednet or turtle. Is this possible?

I don't know what you mean by installing lua, but if this installation of lua supports libraries then you could probably import the APIs as external libraries in to your project;
using eclipse really doesn't sound like a good idea, I suggest using Notepad++, if you are annoyed at the lack of syntax highlighting then there are plenty around (I use one from the Love2D forums, it has some Love2D functions in it, but thats OK :P/>/>)

yup,
at the top where it says "Language" it has a drop down menu
also different styles are in settings>style configurator
my fav is obsidian :3
i dont really suggest using eclipse, its harder to use than np++

Didn't know Np++ had styles.
Eclipse can theoretically be used to program CC stuff, but it can't be run from inside Eclipse.
On the other hand, Eclipse might be useful to handle larger file systems e.g. for OSes.

Well, the reason I want to use eclipse is errors. If I type print("hello), I want it to tell me I forgot a second quotation mark.

There's a package for Sublime Text that does just that.
