The bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7102515

The changeset is the same as in JDK 8: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/langtools/rev/366c233eb838

The target repo: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u2-dev-gate/langtools/

This is a regression from JDK 6 that occurs when several string concatenate operators are used in an expression. This causes the build of the deploy repo to fail.

Risks: No special risks, other than the usual risks associated with a change. The change is two parts: - empty the cache as is done for the other similar operators but which was omitted from the code for the resolveOperator method - change the code so that a simple error message is produced instead of doing the advanced analysis that caused the problem.

Testing:
