Java 10 is just 4 months away from a public release, and one of the new features is the addition of a var context-sensitive keyword (JEP 286).

I suppose the ideal scenario would be highlighting it only when it is used as a variable type and not as a name, but any highlighting is better than none.

If it matters, var is actually a type declaration not a reserved keyword. So var var = 1; is valid Java.

Also, Java 10 has been out for a few months so any update would be great. Thanks!
