Description

If I write class name of java class in same package without .class inside annotation definition, expresson not resolves as ClassExpresson, but VariableExpression. In stub generation VariableExpression represents as only name of class whithout .class and leading to incorrect java file.
Example:
groovy:

@SomeAnnotation(SomeJavaClass)
class Foo {}

generated stub:

@SomeAnnotation(SomeJavaClass) //should be @SomeAnnotation(SomeJavaClass.class)
public class Foo {}
