Mine has:

if !exists("java_allow_cpp_keywords")
" The default used to be to highlight C++ keywords. But several people
" don't like that, so default to not highlighting these.
let java_allow_cpp_keywords = 1
endif
if !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

The comments at the top indicate that the last change was 2007 Dec 21,
but the file timestamp is 2009-10-24 (which is the install date,
probably). The same is true on my home computer ('Last Change: 2007 Dec
21', but timestamp matches the install date '2010-03-05')
