It is suggested that Eclipse IDE (spell checker) checks that Java reserved words are not used for naming programming objects (e.g. classes and variables), because according to feedback on my code it confuses existing Java programmers.

First of all, reserved words are not allowed to be used as names, so I
don't know how such code would even compile. Maybe if you post an
example snippet of code your point would be more clear.

Second, if you do indeed end up with some idea for an enhancement, it
should be entered into Bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/
It's OK to discuss feature ideas here, but nothing will be actually
implemented unless it is recorded into Bugzilla. Keep in mind that the
backlog of feature requests is enormous, so any new requests will be
best received if they are accompanied by code patches.
