I find it very useful to colorizes inherited field access with another color than regular field access like the already built-in inherited method invocation with JDT built in syntax coloring. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to assign different colors for fields and inherited fields in preferences->java->syntax coloring->element->java. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open a java source file containing a field and a accessible inherited field from a parent class and try to assign different colors. e.g. public void aMethod() { Type a = field; Type b = inheritedField; } field and inheritedField can be shown with different colors. May be we can combine inherited filed access with inherited method invocation to inherited member access for both fields and methods.
