How to disable Caret Blinking?

Question

I have created an Eclipse Editor (extends EditorPart) containing an TextViewer. I would like to disable the Caret blinking (I want an Caret allways visible)? How can i do?

If you're on a Unix-like operating system, you can try adding the line gtk-cursor-blink=0 to your $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 file, followed by logging out and back in (to reload the GTK libraries). That should do the trick, in case you can't disable the blinking cursor in the Eclipse preferences.

If that doesn't work, and you're using Xfce, you may try executing the following line in a terminal: xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/CursorBlink -s false
