Description Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-07-09 12:10:05 EDT 
20030709

AST.resolveWellKnownType does not support java.lang.Serializable and
java.lang.Clonable. 
Arrays are by design Serializable and Clonable so these interfaces seem 'well
known' as well.
Would it be possible to add these interfaces to the list of well known interfaces?

Or, would it even be possible to get the binding of any type? (without creating
an fake CU)
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-07-10 06:43:06 EDT 
Resolving more types on the fly isn't intended to be supported, since it 
requires to keep all name resolution structures in memory, in case you may 
resolve anything later on.

We could add the few obvious well-known entities you need though.
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-07-11 15:19:05 EDT 
This is trivial. The code is ready and simply needs an update of the API.
Jim, could you please do it and tell me when the API is changed so I can release
my changes?

Thanks.
Comment 3 Jim des Rivieres CLA 2003-07-11 16:11:00 EDT 
Added to spec for AST.resolveWellKnownTypes:
	 * <li><code>"java.lang.Cloneable"</code></li>
	 * <li><code>"java.io.Serializable"</code></li>
Comment 4 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-07-14 10:11:38 EDT 
Fixed and released in HEAD.
Regression test added.
