[ ... ] Ah, I wasn't sure if I should have used 7-specific features so I stayed away from them (when bootstrapping when ecj, we found diamond to be problematic as older ecj versions cannot understand it). I will change these then. You can use them everywhere but in langtools because the compiler need to bootstrap itself. Ah okay, thanks. FYI, at least in prior incarnations of the JDK build process, there are also small portions of the core libraries, e.g. the primitive wrapper classes, that are built using the bootstrap compiler under an earlier source level. -Joe

That was true, and is no longer true. The dependency got "fixed" when we moved langtools into a separate repo/build, and committed langtools to being able to work on the boot JDK.
