[aspectj-users] AJDT bug(?) in inter-type declaration

[Olaf Klischat <olaf.klischat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This minimal aspect:

public aspect PSTest {

    interface PS {
    }

    private PS PS._this = this;
}

...compiles and runs perfectly when compiled with ajc[1], but fails in 
AJDT with a compiler error: Apparently AJDT erroneously assumes the 
static type of the "this" expression to be PSTest rather than PSTest.PS, 
which leads to AJDT rejecting the assignment to a variable of type 
PSTest.PS.

I'm using AJDT 2.1.0 on Eclipse 3.5.2.

If you add some actual code that instantiates PS or a subclass of it and 
prints out the _this variable at runtime, and compile everything with 
ajc and run it, you see that it really does do what it should do, i.e. 
the correct PSTest.PS instance is assigned to _this.
