Description Paul Harmon CLA 2011-11-30 15:11:11 EST 
The following code currently gives a validation error:

ExternalType myET type JavaObject
    field1 any;
end


It complains that any is not instantiable. However, we should not be validating the type in the ET like this, since we do not control the actual java class.

Validation should change to remove the "is instatiable" check from fields of external types.

I have checked in a change to DefaultBinder to fix this
