Enhancements
Java Language
New JDK 14 and 15-Specific Java Language Features
Code coloring. Keywords "sealed", "non-sealed", and "permits" are highlighted conforming to the existing styles of all other Java keywords.
Code formatting for "sealed" type. Extended the Java code formatting feature to include "sealed" and "permits" clauses for the first time.
Auto-completion for "sealed" type. Added keyword "sealed" and "non-sealed" before "class" declaration. Added "permits" only in the allowed location, i.e., the "permits" clause is not allowed to be put before "extends" and "implements" clause, if present.
