Description

The CDE allows picking a Java implementation class for a primitive annotator. The pick list is generated done using the Eclipse "Search" mechanism, which is set up to search along the classes visible in the classpath to that project. However, if the user puts their XML descriptor into a separate project, which is not a Java project, then this strategy throws an "unexpected exception". Change this behavior so that if the XML descriptor is in a non-Java project, have the Search search the entire workspace for candidate impl classes, to generate the pick list.
