Keeping Jacks Up-to-date

Hi,

  Does anyone have any objections to moving Jacks to JLS 3rd
Edition?

This would mean:

  1. Updating jacks.html to note the same with a caveat that work is
     still in progress so some tests might be out-of-date.

  2. Updating references to various JLS sections. For example the
     current tests for "jls/definite-assignment/statements/while-
     statements" refer to section 16.2.9, whereas the new JLS has
     it in 16.2.10.

  3. Removing tests that are no longer wrong. For example,
     auto-boxing in JLS 3 invalidates some of the testcases.

  4. Writing tests for the new features, most notably, generics.
     (I see that this is already happening.)

I presume that patches to Jacks ought to be sent to mauve-patches.

Thanks,
Ranjit.
