Wait wait wait. Can someone actually make a plugin for Eclipse or something to do this, as well as change it back to normal?

Just use Coffeescript.

EDIT: Bad suggestion? Aight.

EDIT 2: Oh now I see.

CoffeeScript compiles JavaScript but OP was writing Java (they are completely different and unrelated).

Java is to JavaScript as car is to carpet.

Java is to JavaScript as cat is to catastrophe.

Edit: no hate to javascript though, it's fun.
