At the moment, there are two issues with template full variable keywords highlighting:

(1) Keywords that can also be java identifiers ("field", "var", "localVar", "argType", "elemType","newName", "newType", "importStatic", "link", "array") are not highlighted at all.

e.g.:
the "newName" < in ${s:newName(String)} > will not be highlighted.

This is because this keywords can be java identifiers.

e.g.:
"newName" in < String newName = "Name"; > must not be highlighted.

(2) The "import" keyword is also a java keyword, and is highlighted as a java keyword instead of a template keyword.

e.g.:
-> in the case of < ${:import(java.util.List, java.util.Collection)} > the template keyword "import" should be highlighted as a template keyword

-> in the case of < import java.util.List; > the java keyword "import" should be highlighted as a java keyword.


Both this issues can be fixed if we create separate grammar rules for each of the template keywords that would return a common type.

e.g. 
 NewNameTemplateKeyword returns TemplateKeyword: 'newName';
 ImportTemplateKeyword returns TemplateKeyword: 'import';


Afterwards we can use the semantic highlight calculator to highlight the above template keywords appropriately
