[JSR308] Release 0.7.9 of JSR 308 javac, Checker Framework, and checkers

[Eugene Kuleshov]

Hi,

  I am implementing an extension for ASM framework for reading JSR 308 
annotations and having difficulties to interpret reference_info specs.

  Can someone please help me to map target_type values [1] to 
corresponding reference_info field [2] in the bytecode generated for JSR 
308 annotations or maybe update specs with that information? For 
example, assign a sub-section number for each of the following cases and 
then cross-reference them from the target_type table in section 4.1.1:

* Typecasts, type tests, and object creation
* Local Variables
* Method Receivers
* Type Parameter Bounds
* Class extends and implements Clauses
* throws Clauses
* Generic Type Arguments or Arrays (applied to all of the above?)

  Also, is there a test suite anywhere that has compiled sample classes 
for each possible annotation slot supported by JSR 308? So, I could 
reuse it for my own round trip tests.

  Thanks

  Eugene
