Hi, Here are some patches that migrate some code to use more up to date language features. I will create a bug later on after feedback.
This is motivated from Brian's patches to lang tools. I focused just on java.util, minus the concurrent packages, and i used the IDE to assist in the code migration. It's easy to pick off other packages over time. This makes for more of a low-brow effort [*], perfect when one has a cold. Use <> syntax: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/tl/j.u.diamond/webrev/ Replace for with for-each http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/tl/j.u.foreach/webrev/ Replace while with for-each http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/tl/j.u.foreach-while/webrev/ Compress catches http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/tl/j.u.catch/webrev/ Use switch for strings; not sure this one is worth it http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/tl/j.u.swtich/webrev/ I ran all the j.u. tests locally and there were no regressions. Yet to run a JPRT job. Paul. [*] although one needs to be vigilant since sometimes the IDE can refactor incorrectly and sometimes code is arranged in a certain way for a reason (which one reason for leaving j.u.concurrent packages alone for now).
