[plug] vim and programming languages

[Russell Steicke]

Thanks to Anthony and Jason.  After some experimentation I've settled
on:

~/.vimrc contains

:syntax on
:filetype on

And my .java source files have a modeline:

// vim: set shiftwidth=2 expandtab smartindent textwidth=95:

These seem to achieve the same as the emacs local variable settings as
in my original question.  smartindent looks smart enough for what I want.
