This reverts commit a1867b05ba.

Signed-off-by: Alexander Kriegisch <Alexander@Kriegisch.name>

There were warnings that builds were dependent on the system local
(de_DE in my case). In patterns like "EEEE MMM d, yyyy", parts like day
of week or month names would change otherwise.

This module must be a relic from a test runner module once existing
during the Ant build era, but transferred and kept alive in the Maven
build. Actually, it almost doubles build time by running virtually all
tests in all modules again when doing 'mvn test' from the project root.

For now I only removed the module from the root POM, leaving behind
comments there, in the module POM and in the now @Deprecated class
RunTheseBeforeYouCommitTests.

Those versions were not detected until now, which lead to bogus Windows
batch files forwarding only 9 Ajc parameters to the Java process via
"%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9" instead of "%*".

Reports on declarations of Collection variables made by using the collection class as the type, rather than an appropriate interface.

Reports Collection.addAll() and Map.putAll() calls after instantiation of a collection using a constructor call without arguments. Such constructs can be replaced with a single call to a parametrized constructor which simplifies code. Also for some collections the replacement might be more performant.

There are two styles to convert a collection to an array: either using a pre-sized array (like c.toArray(new String[c.size()])) or using an empty array (like c.toArray(new String[0]).
In older Java versions using pre-sized array was recommended, as the reflection call which is necessary to create an array of proper size was quite slow. However since late updates of OpenJDK 6 this call was intrinsified, making the performance of the empty array version the same and sometimes even better, compared to the pre-sized version. Also passing pre-sized array is dangerous for a concurrent or synchronized collection as a data race is possible between the size and toArray call which may result in extra nulls at the end of the array, if the collection was concurrently shrunk during the operation.

Reports calls to Collections.sort(list, comparator) which could be replaced with list.sort(comparator).

Reports any String.indexOf() expressions which can be replaced with a call to the String.contains() method available in Java 5 and newer.

Reports for loops which iterate over collections or arrays, and can be replaced with an enhanced for loop (i.e. the foreach iteration syntax).

This commit introduces some new methods into the
runtime Factory class and modifies code generation
to use them (and to use the form of the LDC bytecode
that loads class constants).

- reduced build level from 8 to 7 so that the weaver can be used on Java7.
- minor readme tweaks
