Verify all 3.1RC3 fixes (Frederic)

Incremental compiler (Kent)

ensure external JAR timestamp perform as expected (migration, upgrading, manual changes)
check amount of incremental recompilation on changes in 1.5 code
check consistency in diagnostics in between compile against sources vs. compiler against binaries

1.5 support stress test (David, Olivier)

construct 1.5 heavy duty workspace with mixed 1.5 sources and binaries (produced with Eclipse)
perform incremental compilation, check consistency of source and binary compile
invoke codeassist, codeselect, various refactorings watching the .log for any thrown exception
try to reformat 1.5 sources: check formatting performs, and good output
exerce on local/nested/anonymous types
exerce on generic methods/constructors calls
exerce on type parameters declarations (with/without wildcards/bounds) and parameterized types arguments
exerce on static import
exerce on parameterized types
control resolved key surfaced by hover selection on 1.5 source/binary code (Sun JDK sources for example)

JavaModel & Search (Jerome)

Compiler (Philippe, Maxime)

check 1.5 semantics on corner situations: generic inference, capture, type conversions
check status of disabled regression tests
