A JSP page should consist of either a mix of markup and Java or
preferably only markup. If it was all Java then you should use
a servlet instead. So I think it makes sense for Eclipse to color
code it as HTML and not as Java.

<% %> are indeed considered primitive / old fashioned / bad style.
There are several techniques that can be used to avoid that
mix and get more clean code. Most important should be
JSTL and bean classes.

Any good JSP tutorial or book (which likely would be 15+ years old!)
would describe those.

I have written something:

which you may consider useful - or not.
