according to the java lang spec (section 3.9) the list of java keywords is as follows: abstract double int strictfp boolean else interface super break extends long switch byte final native synchronized case finally new this catch float package throw char for private throws class goto protected transient const if public try continue implements return void default import short volatile do instanceof static while //--- then, there are 3 reserved words (2 boolean literals and a null literal): true, false, null the notion of 'built-in' types does not exist! only some of the java keywords are recognized as such by our java editor, which is incorrect. suggest adding all keywords to the keyword list, create another entry for reserved words (the 3 mentioned) and removing the 'built-in types' entry
We should complete the keyword list. The distinction between built-in types and keywords is subtle and can easily confuse users. Need to understand the background first why there is a distinction between keywords and built-in types. true, false, null: should be handled as keywords and not as built-in types.
