> In o.a.a.start.Main we have a giant if-then-else ladder for determining which class to use. With Java 7, we can replace this with a switch statement.
> bq. The switch statement compares the String object in its expression with the expressions associated with each case label as if it were using the String.equals method; consequently, the comparison of String objects in switch statements is case sensitive. The Java compiler generates generally more efficient bytecode from switch statements that use String objects than from chained if-then-else statements.
