Error highlighting can be done using http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/tutorials/custom_language_support/annotator.html for more information.

    public class ScalaAnnotator implements Annotator {
       @Override
     public void annotate(@NotNull final PsiElement element, @NotNull AnnotationHolder holder) {

parameter PsiElement contains all details of editor and by AnnotationHolder you can mark as error or change colour using 

                TextRange range = new TextRange(element2.getTextRange().getStartOffset(),
                        element2.getTextRange().getEndOffset());
                Annotation annotation = holder.createInfoAnnotation(range, null);
                annotation.setTextAttributes(DefaultLanguageHighlighterColors.STATIC_FIELD);
