Description
I'm trying to migrate from IntelliJ and one of the best features it has is the code improvement suggestions. For example, if I'm using JDK7+ and my code is not using the "diamond operator", it offers me to convert the code to this cleaner version. And it does this for:
- Convert to try-with-resources on JDK7+
- Convert to lambda on JDK8+
And a lot more.
I know this issue is very broad and probably each of theses code refactoring should have its own issue linked to this one. But first I want to check what the core developers think of this.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points and proposes a broad family of Java refactorings. Start by reviewing the project's existing code-improvement capabilities and the scope of each requested transformation; done should be defined as one or more separately scoped suggestions with clear JDK-version behavior and tests.
