Description Peter Walker

I passed in a Java Project and a package name and a class name(e.g.
TestClass$InnerClass). The class exists and is in the source package.
It returns a null from the method call 
 findType(String packageName, String typeQualifiedName)
This used to work in Eclipse 3.0.1.

According to the spec, the type qualified name is supposed to be dot ('.')
separated. Does findType("com.some.thing", "TestClass.InnerClass") work ?

Yes indeed... the '.' works as specified. I will have to change the way we use
this interface in our code. Thanks...
