New class wizard superclass selection does not provide project classes as an option about netbeans

Reproducible in 13rc2. Thanks for the detailed report.

I looked at this a little bit. I agree that isNotFinalExceptionType and isNotFinalClass methods should not use Class.forName since it doesn't know anything about the project.
To properly implement this we would have to call typeHandle.resolve(compilationInfo) then get a type mirror to get the modifiers. Getting a CompilationInfo is a bit of a ceremony unfortunately.

However, if we say that the filters only need to function on a best effort basis, we could simply return true.

  } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
      return true; // we don't know
  }

this would show classes from project classpath even if they are final, instead of showing nothing. Maybe its still good enough for the wizzard - I don't know.

it might be worth investigating if it would make sense to add modifiers to the ElementHandle API.

Removing good-first-issue label again :)
