Summary: Project Main Document Heuristics should not be hard-coded

Initial Comment:
DrJava does not allow the execution of a main method in a static 
inner class.  For example:

public class foo {
  public static class bar {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
      //...
    }
  }
}

Since the project properties dialog selects a main document as a 
java file instead of a class name, it won't be able to run the main 
method, and it is not accessible from the "Run document's main 
method" context menuitem either.  A quick solution (without doing 
any parsing) would be to let the user specify the "class name", not 
the java file that contains the main method.
