This project implements JMT Mode, an Emacs major mode that affords better control of its built-in Java mode, particularly in regard to syntax highlighting. For this, it introduces customizeable faces to highlight the following syntax features.

• Annotation details
• Delimiters (quotes, various forms of bracket and separator)
• Javadoc details
• Keywords, according to role
• Named literals: `true`, `false`, `null`
• Package-declaration details
• Shebang
• Type identifiers at point of declaration (as opposed to reference)
• Type variables at point of declaration

Additionally it corrects the highlighting of features that are mishandled by the built-in mode, such as:

• Annotations
• Assert statements
• Enhanced `for` loops
• Javadoc block tags
• Method and constructor declarations
• Multi-type catch parameters
• Records
• Static imports
