Re: Why is "template" highlighted in Java code

I'm trying to track this one down. The Debian sources used for vim
don't quite jive with the sources from vim.org.

The 7.2 sources from vim.org do not highlight the keywords by default.
The change appears to have been made on 25 June 2008, well before the
9 August 2009 release of vim 7.2.

http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/vim7/runtime/syntax/java.vim?r1=1071&r2=1073

However, the current "original" sources used in the Debian vim-common
package don't contain that change. In fact, the java.vim file found
there is not identical to the original one from 7.1 or 7.2.

http://packages.debian.org/sid/vim-common

Anyway, it looks like a Debian packaging issue.
