NPE ClassTypeResolver.resolveType

Declaring a type that extends an imported declared type leads to Null Pointer.

According to the documentation at http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/5.5.0.Final/drools-expert-docs/html/ch04.html#d0e5060
it should be possible to declare:

import org.people.Person
declare Person end
declare Student extends Person end

However, adding the last line, leads to an NPE during readKnowledgeBase:

java.lang.NullPointerException

To reproduce simply:

• Create a Drools Project
• Add the following lines to Sample.drl
  declare Message end
  declare Any extends Message end
• Run
