[Gvsig_english] GvSIG 2.0 Java 1.6 support

[Francisco José Peñarrubia]

Changes maybe done easyly, in this case. You only need to comment some 
lines:

//                if (!labelShape.contains(i, j) // contains seems to 
don't detect points placed in the rectangle boundaries
//                        && !labelShape.intersects(i, j, i, j)) {
//                    continue;
//                }

in file 
extSimbology/src/org.gvsig.simbology.fmap.GeneralLabellingStrategy.java 
(line 564, method isOverlapping).
Although I will prefer to compile everything with 1.6. In this case, 
changes are easier: change Curve.crossingsForPath in GeneralPathX with 
the new call
Curve.pointCrossingsForPath(getPathIterator(null), x, y);
or better, reimplement the method contains in GeneralPath without using 
Curve (is not a public API, just a public class from Sun).

Hope this helps.
