Have you tried M-x java-mode?  font-lock-mode is a minor mode, which
depends on a major mode.  Java mode is a major mode which has an
associated font-lock mode that will do the Java syntax highlighting that
you want.  It doesn't work in fundamental mode because Emacs has no way of
knowing that you want the Java font-lock rules.
