Stack trace

Note that test passes despite the exception.

I guess that was from SourceElementImpl.java 1.34. Now I am getting a
real commit validation failure from 1.35.

The details

I will change ValidateLayerConsistencyTest to skip the VCS *.class
files, since they are not really intended for browsing anyway, but
this bug still remains valid for anyone looking at *.class files in
funny places.

Fixed.

You may want to revert rev. 1.11 of ValidateLayerConsistencyTest just
to be sure.

I ran the commit validation with rev. 1.10 of
ValidateLayerConsistencyTest.java and all tests passed.

So, I reverted the test:
