By default, Eclipse does a pretty good job of syntax highlighting Java files without going overboard. But, if you want a fresh look -- maybe you want to try a dark background -- the Eclipse Color Theme plugin lets you change whole editor themes with the click of your mouse.
The Eclipse Color Theme plugin is free and so are the themes. So far I'm liking the dark Oblivion theme, shown below.
