They tell you that you are in "linked mode", in this case that the
closing parenthesis has automatically been inserted. The green line
tells you where pressing <Return> or <Tab> will take you.

This might not be of great help in this case, but check it out when
using a code template, e.g. a for-loop.

The decoration style and color can be configured in
Java->Editor->Annotations tab, see the annotation types named "Linked
something".
