Because "template" is a widely used C++ keywords but is not used in Java. In order to keep you from misusing some C++ keywords in Java, Vim highlights those keywords as syntax error by default. They are: auto delete extern friend inline redeclared register signed sizeof struct template typedef union unsigned operator If you really want to use them, say, as variable names, you can disable this feature by adding: let java_allow_cpp_keywords = 1 To your .vimrc > I'm using vim 7.2 as provided by Ubuntu 9.10's vim-gnome package > group.
