It would be nice if Eclipse IDE, highlighted syntax, in a manner that the order of precedence of operators is more intuitive, for example with the automatic addition of brackets, providing that these do not severely affect performance of the code itself:

if (rs == null || scrolling && rs.isLast()) return;


It might be an option for new users, which can be switched off by advanced users.
