Description Andrew Clement

Attempting a match like this:

get(@Anno(foo=String.class) * *)

doesn't work due to 'class' tripping up the parser.  The JDT patched java.g needs to recognize class as a PseudoToken so that it will pass it through for pointcut parsing.

Fixed.  'class' now gets through.  There is a possibility that it slightly damages parser recovery though (having 'class' as a pseudotoken seems to lead to some extra errors when a program is already broken).   Have to keep an eye on that.
