-----------------------------------

             Summary: Variables get annotated incorrectly when the class name 
contains "String"
                 Key: FLEX-34983
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34983
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Falcon, FlexJS
    Affects Versions: Apache FlexJS 0.5.0
            Reporter: Andy Dufilie
            Priority: Minor


If you create a class with "String" in the name, the type gets annotated 
incorrectly.

For example, create a class named "LinkableString" and it becomes 
"Linkablestring" in the annotation, causing warnings as follows:

WARNING: C:\Weave\WeaveJS\bin\js-debug\WeaveTest.js:74: WARNING - Bad type 
annotation. Unknown type weavejs.core.Linkablestring
  var /** @type {weavejs.core.Linkablestring} */ test = new 
weavejs.core.LinkableString();

I believe the offending code is in mapBackToJS() in BaseReference.java:
