Description Matt Heitz CLA 2012-02-01 10:31:10 EST 
In org.eclipse.edt.compiler\eglsource\eglx\java\JavaObject.egl our ET for Object has a getClass method and an ET for Class.

There are no references to getClass or the Class ET anywhere.  We should remove them in order to simplify things.

If someone really needs Class, they can define an ET for it.  If someone really needs getClass, they can make a new ET for Object with the method.  (Yes, you really can do that!  It will extend, not replace, our predefined Object ET.)
