Description Art Dyer

When compiling for a 1.5 target, class literals are compiled using the ldc bytecode and do not require the synthetic fields 'static Class class$0' etc.  These fields are generated anyway but never used.

I'll investigate this one.

Fixed and released in HEAD.
The synthetic field was created when the source level was lower or equals than 1.5 instead of lower than 1.5.
Added regression test in org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.compiler.regression.Compliance_1_3.test103,
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.compiler.regression.Compliance_1_4.test103,
org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.compiler.regression.Compliance_1_5.test103.
