I found Colorer plugin in Igor's answer interesting, yet I use .scss file extention and it only works for .sass files. Here's how to make it support .scss file extension:
First install the plugin as normal. Select Install New software in Help menu in Eclipse and add the following repository: http://colorer.sf.net/eclipsecolorer. Now select this repository and you should see the Eclipse Colorer install option. There is no drag-install option AFAIK.
After install, goto Colorer plugin folder inside Eclipse's plugin directory. In my case that's eclipse/plugins/net.sf.colorer_0.9.9/. There you'll have to modify 3 files:
- colorer/hrc/common.jar
- colorer/hrc/proto.hrc
- /plugin.xml
Before doing any of the below instruction, please backup all files in the folder in order to restore them if anything goes wrong.
Modifying common.jar
Extract common.jar to an empty folder. This is done as any normal tar.gz file. Once extracted you'll have to modify 2 files in it:
duplicate lines 53 and 53 in inet/haml.hrc and change it to scss. The result should be like below:
<block start='/^((\s\s)*):(sass)/' end='/^\M (\s*$|\y1\s)?! /ix' region='def:Insertion' region01='def:Outlined'
region00='def:PairStart' region10='def:PairEnd' content-priority='low' scheme='sass:sass'/>
<block start='/^((\s\s)*):(scss)/' end='/^\M (\s*$|\y1\s)?! /ix' region='def:Insertion' region01='def:Outlined'
region00='def:PairStart' region10='def:PairEnd' content-priority='low' scheme='scss:scss'/>
now copy inet/sass.hrc to inet/scss.hrc and change the relevant lines. The resulting scss.hrc should be like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding='Windows-1251'?>

after this, run the following command in the folder where you extract common.jar to recreate the jar file:
jar cf common.jar *
then substitute the original jar file by this one.
Other files
Now, include scss extension in /plugin.xml line 37:
extensions="xml,xsd,xsl,dtd,hrc,hrd,html,htm,xhtml,rhtml,erb,yml,haml,sass,scss,css,asp,aspx,jsp,fo,svg,dbk,docbook,jhtml,jspf,php,php3,php4,phtml,sgm,sgml,shtm,shtml"
And finally, duplicate lines 200-203 in colorer/hrc/proto.hrc. The result should be like below:
<prototype name="sass" group="inet" description="SASS">
<location link="jar:common.jar!inet/sass.hrc"/>
<filename>/\.(sass)$/i</filename>
</prototype>
<prototype name="scss" group="inet" description="SCSS">
<location link="jar:common.jar!inet/scss.hrc"/>
<filename>/\.(scss)$/i</filename>
</prototype>
After this restart eclipse and you should have syntax highlighting for .scss files.
