Add a mechanism to java support modules so that other mosuled could prompt the user for a Java Type in the current/specified project's classpath. The mechanism could be an abstraction and is most likely implemented using a dialog similar to "Go to Class" dialog when called from within the IDE. In fact, the mechanism could also support prompting for other java entities like Packags, Methods, Fields etc. It could support single or multiple selection. THe module then should be able to figure out which file the Java entity is defined in, whether it is a source form or compiled class etc.
