eclipse team ( Mercurial Eclipse ) edit highlighting

I am trying to move from Netbeans to Eclipse. Minor thing bothering me is that Eclipse dosen't seem to have the kinda edit highlighting that Netbeans does.

For example, a new line is automatically highlighted as green. An edit is highlighted as blue. And this happens in an unobtrusive way on the left along with the line numbers( if line numbers are turned on).

Is this some configuration issue or does eclipse team not support it ?

This is specifically for MercurialEclipse plugin.

I'm a heavy eclipse user and as a general rule of thumb, it supports mostly everything. So problems like these are most likely solved through configuration and/or plugins.

Regarding your specific situation...

Maybe I'm not following your question but it seems you want to look at edits that happen on a file? When I do this in eclipse, I do so through the subversion plugin (Subclipse) and compare the existing file against a previous version in the repository (to compare against the team's older version of the file) or in local history (to compare against your own version of the file).

As in:
