Description Douglas Pollock

There is a compile error in my javadoc, that complains that a class cannot be 
instantiated.  The problem only occurs on my Windows XP box.  It does not 
occur on my Linux-GTK box, nor on another team member's Windows XP box.  The 
exact complaint is "Cannot instantiate the type Plugin, since it is not a 
concrete class", and occurs in ViewsPlugin.

Problem comes from method JavadocAllocationExpression.internalResolveType(...)

Fixed.

There was an invalid check in this method:
if (!this.resolvedType.canBeInstantiated()) {
...
}

Remove this verification as we're in a comment and we don't matter whether the 
type can be instanciated or not...

Test case testBug46901 added in JavadocTestMixed.
