Diamonds in anonymous classes

Just wanted to let you all know that diamond syntax with anonymous classes
are available in JDK 9 as of build 59 [1].

I've often found myself writing code like

    add(new ListView<AnnoyingTypeParameterThatCantBeInferred>(.....) {
        ....
    });

so I think this feature is most welcomed by Wicket users :-)

I've noticed this improvement too.
It will take a while until Java 9 is out and people start using it though.
We will start soon on Wicket 8 (requiring Java 8).
