Fedora 17 is out in which Java7 is the default.  So the other night I
switched over to Java7 and built FreeCol with it.  As previously
noted, compilation succeeds (good work Java developers) but the newer
javacc throws heaps of warnings which I dutifully cleaned up.  Most
of them are due to use of an undecorated JComboBox rather than a
JComboBox<contentType>.  These were easy to fix, but the result is
then no longer compilable under Java6.  IMHO it is far too early to
impose Java7 on developers, so my j7-fixes patch is going to gather
dust until we are ready to switch.  Probably a good thing as once the
JComboBox problem appeared I started giving up easily and using
SuppressWarnings on the harder cases:-).

Cheers,
Mike Pope
