Description

uimaj-core doesn't build on JDK 7. It looks like inner classes are preferred over imported classes in JDK 7, hence there are errors when the type Type is used in subclasses of AWT Window which contains Window.Type.

Aparrently, Tomasso has set up a UIMA build with JDK 7 on Jenkins which reproduces this problem. I couldn't find any issue about it though.

Is there any particular reason why this has not been fixed yet?
