`boolean record = true;` causes a syntax error even thought it is valid Java

Bug description

Adding boolean record = true; anywhere to the sketch causes the preprocess to emit an Error even though it is valid Java.

This is what I know so far:

• record is a java keyword
• changing it to boolean record1 = true; suppresses the error
• I tried changing the antlr version back to what it was defined in the Ant build system but that didn't help either

Steps to reproduce this

1. Add boolean record = true; to a sketch

2. See the preprocessor be unhappy

snippet

boolean record = true;

void setup() {

}

void draw() {
 
}
