Description
### Description
When we work with round brackets in java we can see the start and end bracket via highlighting. For example:

I suggest to add the same functionality for angle bracket of generics, because rather often a structure can be complex and it is not seen where the bracket starts and where it ends.
For example,
`Map, Map>> coursesByStudentTypeAndTime;`
The issue was also opened in old jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5716
