Support Java 7 syntax/features

Posted on Feb 6, 2013 by Swift Rhino

This is an attempt at listing all issues related to supporting Java 7 constructs/features: - switch-on-strings - diamond operator - multicatch - standard library enhancements (e.g. Integer.compare(int,int)) - etc.

We'll create a similar issue for Java 8 when the time comes.

Java 7 language: https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/2650 and https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/2681

Note closing this issue yet as we'd also want to add a few changes to the runtime emulation.

See issue 8044 for one detail we have to mention in the release notes in addition to support (and defaulting to) Java 7.
