[jdt-apt-dev] reconcile time type generation

As of 3.3M4, reconcile time type generation is turned on in JDT
annotation processing.

Until now, although annotation processors could generate new types
(which could themselves contain annotations that could lead to yet more
new types and so on...), the types would only actually be generated
during a build.  So, if you had a file with an annotation that could
generate a type, and you also had a reference to the generated type,
editing the annotation would have no effect on the reference until you
did a build.

Now, processors are able to generate types during normal editing; it
does not require a build.  For instance, fixing an annotation will
immediately result in references to the generated type getting resolved.
Red squiggles will go away.

As with any new functionality - particular any new functionality as
hairy as this has turned out to be - we look forward to your feedback in
the form of bug reports.  Please treat the functionality harshly, and
the developers gently :-)

Thanks,
  -Walter Harley
