Description Matt Heitz CLA 2012-11-27 15:22:55 EST 
Support AnyStruct and AnyRecord in Java and RUI

They're types like Any and AnyException.  Valid for use in: isa, as, declarations, parameters, return types, etc.

There are some tests in the validation junit project

Since AnyStruct isn't very useful (it's nearly the same as EAny, minus enumerations and delegates), it would be better to have AnyHandler, AnyClass, etc. Something to consider before implementing this.

I agree.  I'm moving this out of 082 I4.
