Not a problem, as long as someone can verify my syntax is OK.  Here's the 
snippet again:

(setq font-lock-todo-face (make-face 'font-lock-todo-face))
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-todo-face "Red")
(set-face-background 'font-lock-todo-face "Yellow")

(font-lock-add-keywords 'jde-mode
                        '(("\\<\\(TODO:.*$\\)" 1 font-lock-todo-face 
prepend)))
