Next up: rawtype and unchecked lint warning cleanup

[Joe Darcy]

An update, besides raw types and unchecked warnings, there were two 
other lint warning categories remaining in the jdk repo, finally 
warnings (for finally clauses that cannot complete normally) and 
overrides warnings (for overriding equals without also overriding hashcode).

There were only a few occurrences of these finally and overrides 
warnings. The finally warnings have been resolved and enabled in the build:

     8044715: Add finally lint warning to build of jdk repository
     http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/3b602ffe5fe5

The overrides warnings should be next. Progress also has been made on 
the raw types and unchecked front; fewer than 2,000 of those warnings 
remain.

Cheers,

-Joe
