Steve has provided a great response to most of your questions.  The 
syntax highlighting tool... I would suggest it simply has a list of known 
keywords.  Java and C++ share many keywords and syntax, even though they 
work rather differently.  However, your utility can't tell the difference 
- it would still highlight relevant constricts if you unleashed it on a 
copy of Darth Vader's autobiography<g>
