Subject: [PATCH 07/10] Patched JUnit test code so that unit tests pass. 
 Incompatible changes to the Java 8 compiler (made as updates to Java 8!)
 broke DrJava testing. Warnings (due to legacy raw types and serialVersionUID
 nonsense) were converted to errors.

On branch java8

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] This small update includes patches to unit tests that
 perform compilation to accommodate changes to javac (!!) since Java 6. It
 also makes the java 8 compiler in the installed java 8 JDK distro the
 preferred compiler instead of the javax.tools compiler. The imports to
 JPDADebugger were changed to accommodate changes to the API in the Java
 libraries since Java 6 (!!).  Changes to be committed: 	modified:

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] Streamlined MultiThreadedTestCase and DrJavaTestCase
 because of failing test in ProjectMenuTest.java.  The setUp method in
 DrJavaTestCase appeared broken when assert checking was enabled.
