Description Dani Megert

We should add a 'switch on string' template.

Really? Didn't you mean try-with-resources?

Switch on string looks exactly the same as the existing switch template.

I agree: a separate 'switch on string' template doesn't make too much sense but we should:

1. Improve the current 'switch' template to propose variables that have the 
   correct primitive types.
2. Once bug 95787 is fixed we set the existing template to work on 1.6 or lower
   and add a second template for 1.7 and higher that also offers variables of 
   type 'String'.
