Description Jörg Kubitz

Bug 447798 converts
 "C:\org.eclipse.debug.core\bin\org\eclipse\debug\core\DebugPlugin$EventDispatchJob.class"
to 
 DebugPlugin.EventDispatchJob
but that class is not found by the Open Type dialog.

Alternative search pattern which find org.eclipse.debug.core.DebugPlugin.EventDispatchJob:
 .DebugPlugin.EventDispatchJob
 *.DebugPlugin.EventDispatchJob
 *DebugPlugin.EventDispatchJob
I am not sure about the differences but i suggest to automatically prepend
 *.
when the resulting search text contains ".".

i.e. Map$Entry -> *.Map.Entry
