Description
Eclipse should colorize the wrong arguments in the argument list, eg. in
`The method dekodiereDaten(int, String, byte[], PointerByReference) in the type ApiLibrary is not applicable for the arguments (int, String, String, PointerByReference)`
byte[] should be green and String red (or the chosen compare colors).
Especially with long argument lists the error message would be better understandable.

Research direction
The issue does not name a source file, entry point, or test. Start by locating the Eclipse JDT UI code that renders the “method … is not applicable for the arguments” diagnostic, then trace how the declared and supplied argument lists are represented. Done means mismatched arguments are colorized distinctly, including in long lists, with coverage for the shown byte[] versus String case.
