2 problems when I use resolveBinding() on the generated AST for the following code :

public class Foo{
  int bar() throws Throwable {
    return Foo.x;
  }
  static int x;
}

the tree for "return Foo.x;" is :

ReturnStatement
 +-QualifiedName
    +-SimpleName: "Foo"
    +-SimpleName: "x"

1- resolveBinding() on SimpleName "Foo" returns a IVariableBinding object, I
expected a ITypeBinding

2- resolveBinding() on SimpleName "x" throws a NullPointerException :

java.lang.NullPointerException
