The editor should work out of the box, we (the Eclipse platform team) fixed that before the Luna release, at least for JDT and CDT. I think what you are seeing is the "Terminal" bug, i.g., if you include the new terminal (or download a version of Luna which includes that you get this white background). This is already fixed and should be contained in the 4.4.1 release.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=438175 for details on the bug.

Ok here's what worked for me, simpler than installing a whole new colour theme. (on java 8 JRE on WinXP)

Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors: Background colour

deselect 'system default' and choose pure black

Now go to 'current line highlight' and make it you favourite shade of grey. RGB 60/60/60 works for me.
