Description

When editing Java test file syntax highlighting appears to show an error for the class being tested. e.g. for class MyClass, the test MyClassTest will highlight all instances of MyClass as not found. Code completion cannot find the class but the test will compile and run. Appears to be a syntax highlighting and code completion issue only.

Easy workaround is to refactor the apparently missing class without renaming the test, then refactor back to the original name and recompile. This appears to trigger something that means all the highlighting vanishes.
