I don't think it is possible to change the background colour for only comments. There is a 9 year old bug related to this so don't hold your breath waiting for a fix!!

Maybe. You might be better asking on a more Eclipse focussed forum or mailing list. – Mark Jan 27 '10 at 10:12

Of course you can: Window > Preferences Then look for Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring In there you can set the style (bold, italic, color, ...) for single-line, multi-line, and javadoc comments (as well as all other syntactic markup).
Edit: Oh sorry, I didn't read the question well enough, as the above only works for foreground coloring.
Changing background colors in Eclipse in general is already answered here.

It's a solution to change the background color for all lines but I need to chnage the background color only for comments. – Arutha Jan 27 '10 at 09:09
