If I have

Collections.sort()

the word collections is not higlighted. However if I have:

Collections .sort() // note the space before the period

then Collections is highlighted.

Is there any way to get around this in the java.syn file?

Regards...

although this is not strictly a perfect solution it may reduce the pain
i had the same problem and found that if i replaced my enhanced java.syn file (which had extra classes to highlight) with the original java.syn file that came with textpad, i get the highlighting, as soon as you touch the original java.syn file, you lose the highlighting.
if you are still using you original file then sorry i cant help

In all the 'Keywords n' sections, split all compound names containing periods/dots/full stops into seperate entries. Eg:... becomes ...(Then, of course, you can use TP's Sort tool to remove the resulting duplicates)

If you remove all such compound names, then it should work. Certainly did for me.
