Hello,

Some time ago, I wanted to use Java Reflection in Processing, but trying to run the dummy sketch below yielded an "Invalid type:70" error.

Code:

Class a = PApplet.class;

void draw() {
  background(255);
  line(random(width), random(height), random(width), random(height));
} 

Today, I tracked the error down and realized that the "class" token after "PApplet." was ignored when writing the sketch out as Java code.  

If you add
Code:

case LITERAL_class: 

to the long list of cases around line 670 in src/processing/preproc/PdeEmitter.pde, everything works as expected.

At the end of that file is an out-commented list of cases, with comment "The following are tokens, but I don't think JavaRecognizer ever produces an AST with one of these types:"

Maybe it's a good idea to insert them all around line 670 so that they will be passed through into the Java code?

Cheers,
 Christian

Yes, of course – should have thought about that myself.
Thanks for reminding me.
