Sorry to reply to myself, but I fixed my problem: upgraded to
jde2.3.4beta4 and syntax highlighting works great now.

I'm pretty much a newbie with both emacs and JDE, so sorry if this is
something stupid. I have set up emacs 20.7.2 (debian woody version)
with JDE 2.3.3 (downloaded, not debian). I have got nearly everything
working, e.g jde-compile, jde-ant-build etc, code completion etc. But
only strings and comments are recognized in font-lock-mode: apis,
imports, operators etc all come though in the standard font, not
highlighted like the Customize Faces variables say they should be.
When installing jde, I tried to make install, but it gave me texinfo
errors, so in the end i just symlinked the jde-2.3.3 java and lisp
directories into my ~/emacs/site/jde directory. (I'm not sure if that
would be a problem)
I've also installed overlay-fix.el, more in hope than expectation: I'm
running the latest version of semantic.
In the Messages window, I get this: (full startup messages are at the
end of the email).
jde-java-font-lock: building name cache...
jde-java-font-lock: building name cache...empty
and then when fontifying a buffer, I get.
Fontifying MyClass.java...
Fontifying MyClass.java... (syntactically....)
Thanks for any pointers you could provide me!
James.
