I need a little help with the jargon here.

'font-lock' is the Emacs highlighting infrastructure, mostly based on
regular expressions; it can use parser results as well.

I'm guessing 1.8 and 1.5 are a Java language versions, but they don't
match the list at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29#Versions.

I gather there is new Java syntax that the JDE syntax highlighting gets
wrong.

I just re-implemented Emacs Ada mode for a similar reason (Ada 2012
syntax changes), and am very familiar with highlighting issues.
