Check if JavaScript
syntax highlighting is enabled in Eclipse/STS as suggested here.
Alternatively, you can add marketplace plugins like Code Mix.
Might need to restart to get the changes reflected.

Options should be almost similar. STS is a flavour in top of Eclipse – Prathap Reddy Jul 23 '20 at 10:08

We can install CodeMix plugin and from Eclipse Marketplace(Help -> Eclipse Marketplace) and it solves the problem.
