Well, first and foremost upgrade ECJ to a version that supports Java 7. Hopefully that would be enough to support the diamond operator, and possibly all other Java 7 features.

Re: Java 7 - Diamond Operator
The page ( https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsCompatibility) only mentions support for Java 1.5. Sorry for the trouble, I missed it before. I was looking for diamond operator before and found nothing, where my search criteria had to be different :(. There are plenty of posts about this.
