Description Jan Koehnlein CLA 2010-08-04 07:50:37 EDT 
Currently, the MWE2 grammar allows to refer to top-level classes only.

Syntactically, the FQN rule does not allow inner class names, usually specified with a '$' as separator. 

I am not sure whether we have to change anything in the runtime libs. 

Related to that topic, the Mwe2ValueConverterService uses a simplistic implementation that allows to convert inner class names to String, but the result 
would not be lexable/parseable. This allows some content assist tests to pass, even though JvmTypes with invalid names are created internally. We should rather use something similar to the QualifiedNameValueConverter introduced in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=319987
