maybe my runtime is out of date? my java.vim is dated
2009-mar-14

the way it's coded:

if !exists("java_allow_cpp_keywords")
syn keyword javaError auto delete extern friend inline
redeclared
syn keyword javaError register signed sizeof struct template
typedef union
syn keyword javaError unsigned operator
endif

(well before my mailer scrunched the long lines)

appears to me the default is to flag the cpp keywords as
errors unless and until the user puts

let java_allow_cpp_keywords = 1

in their .vimrc -- this leads me to think perhaps the help on
this subject isn't really clear on this matter
