Take note of the highlighting of public void:

Actual:

I can reproduce this error with the following code:

class C {
    public
    void foo() {}
}

void and foo are not highlighted. The TextMate scope for the declaration is

• meta.class.body.java
• meta.class.java
• source.java

Everything is highlighted correctly when the access modifier public is removed. I think the bug is related to the member-variables pattern in the syntax definition (link) which is included in class-body.

The C# grammar handles this without problems:

I think this is due to limitation of the Regex engine oniguruma, which does not work across lines.

Yes, you are right. But this could be worked around by changing the code for the scope - I will have a look.

so anyone know how to fix it?

Any updates? BTW hightlighting for multi-line class declaration is also broken:

class 
Foo {
}
