syntax highlighting for embedded languages (SpEL, JPQL, SQL, HQL, etc.) inside of Java editor (in Eclipse)

[martinlippert]

Support for syntax highlighting for SpEL, JPQL, SQL, HQL, etc. in Eclipse when working in the standard Java editor. The current implementation uses the semantic token support of the LSP, which works in Eclipse only if used inside the Generic Editor (the standard LSP based editor in Eclipse).

This issue is to support this mechanism for the Java editor in Eclipse as well.

POC is working which is a great thing of course :-) but we are still miles away from the final solution:

In order to implement this, we need a number of changes in JDT UI itself, therefore moving the target milestone to 4.27.0, which will be the release based on Eclipse 2024-12 - which is the earliest target for those changes in JDT UI.

The groundwork for this in JDT UI moves towards the 2025-03 release of Eclipse, so our target milestone to the corresponding 4.29.0 release in March 2025.
