Added a simple rewriter to the catch block finder of ASTConverter: If it can't find it, it used to return -1, which is exceedingly useless and causes no end of bugs. Changed it to returning the start point of the search, which is a more useful fallback.

+ * of source files because Eclipse's own AST doesn't actually have enough information for eclipse (why they don't just fix
+ * the AST tree generator is beyond me). At any rate, for catch blocks generated by lombok, eclipse tries to rescan the
+ * source file to find the source position of the catch statement, which will of course fail as there's nothing there.
+ * We will fix the code to return the original starting position, which is a pretty good simile, instead of '-1', which
+ * screws up all sorts of things.
+ * 
+ * Transformations applied:<ul>
+ * <li>The <code>retrieveStartingCatchPosition(int, int)</code> method is instrumented to return its first parameter
+ * instead of the constant -1.</li></ul>
