Hi,

please review a small change that I'd like to see in OpenJDK to get rid of 
compilation errors in the Eclipse IDE.

It seems the root cause for the compilation errors is that javac would 
sometimes widen capture variables and is hence able to compile the places that 
I touch here. The EC4J compiler claims that it's following the spec more 
strictly and bails out at these places. I had posted about this on compiler-dev 
but got no reaction [0].

So, as this seems to be some field of open work for the compiler/spec folks, 
I'd like to get EC4J quiesced by introducing some slight modifications to the 
original places which makes the code appeal a bit less elegant and fluent but 
will get rid of the compile errors.

Please review:
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223553
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8223553.0/

The modification to 
src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentSkipListMap.java 
belongs to JSR-166, so I don't know if it needs some special handling.

Thanks & Best regards
Christoph
