vim-patch:8556e23: runtime(java): Provide support for syntax preview features
Introduce a new API variable "g:java_syntax_previews" whose value must be a list of syntax preview feature numbers. Enumerate the currently supported numbers in a table at the end of the documentation entry for "ft-java-syntax". Also, disable the recognition of String Templates. Despite the withdrawal of this preview feature in its proposed form from the upcoming JDK 23 release and the fact that the JDK 22 release is coming to EOL this September, an earlier iteration of this preview feature was included in JDK 21 (LTS) whose EOL is projected to fall due in late 2028 and, therefore, retain the current implementation. Define "g:java_syntax_previews" and include number 430 in its list to enable the recognition of String Templates: ------------------------------------------------------------ let g:java_syntax_previews = [430] ------------------------------------------------------------ References: https://openjdk.org/jeps/430 (Preview) https://openjdk.org/jeps/459 (Second Preview) https://openjdk.org/jeps/465 (Third Preview) https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/amber-spec-experts/2024-April/004106.html closes: vim/vim#15579 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/8556e23ee90448f01b612d337599f6e8f86679ea Co-authored-by: Aliaksei Budavei <0x000c70@gmail.com>

number is that redrawing can become slow.
+Significant changes to the Java platform are gradually introduced in the form
+of JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) that can be implemented for a release and
+offered as its preview features. It may take several JEPs and a few release
+cycles for such a feature to become either integrated into the platform or
+withdrawn from this effort. To cater for early adopters, there is optional
+support in Vim for syntax related preview features that are implemented. You
+can request it by specifying a list of preview feature numbers as follows: >
+ :let g:java_syntax_previews = [430]
+
+The supported JEP numbers are to be drawn from this table:
+ `430`: String Templates [JDK 21]
+
+Note that as soon as the particular preview feature will have been integrated
+into the Java platform, its entry will be removed from the table and related
+optionality will be discontinued.
