Description broy2 CLA 2011-10-06 14:06:50 EDT 
myDate date = 20081012;
Causes when run:
eglx.lang.TypeCastException The value 20,081,012 of type java.lang.Integer cannot be converted to the type org.eclipse.edt.runtime.java.eglx.lang.EDate.

I should get a validation error similar to assigning an interger to boolean.
myBoolean boolean = 1;	
Gives error:
IWN.VAL.6653.e 6/23 boolean and int are not compatible types in the expression myBoolean = 1.
Comment 1 Paul Harmon CLA 2011-10-18 14:56:32 EDT 
validation has been updated to make numeric types and date incompatible
