v29.4: Anomalous Highlighting in "Java//l Abbrev" (java-mode)

[Jason Vas Dias]

 This was Subject: 'v29.2 Java FontLock mode weirdness ?' I sent to the
 'emacs-devel' list - opening Bug as requested by Eli.

  I have built Emacs 29.4, on Fedora 40 for x86_64, (using attached emacs.spec) 
,
  and it has exactly the same problem in Java Mode as did 29.2, ie.
  with angle brackets in parenthesized expressions, eg.:

    boolean b =
            ( a < c );

  will result in c being highlighted in green bold, while

      
    boolean b =
            ( a <= c ) || ( d > c ) ;

   will not - please see attached Screenshot.
