The javadoc for java.lang.reflect.Field#toString() says:

<BLOCKQUOTE>
The modifiers are placed in canonical order as specified by
"The Java Language Specification". This is public, protected
or private first, and then other modifiers in the following
order: static, final, transient, volatile
<BLOCKQUOTE>

The audit tool is complaining
        
http://icarus.apache.org/~sbailliez/jakarta-ant/proposal/myrmidon/audit/org/apache/aut/vfs/FileType.html

about the following line:
    public static final FileType FOLDER = new FileType( REZ.getString( 
"folder.name" ) );

from 
        
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-ant/proposal/myrmidon/src/java/org/apache/aut/vfs/FileType.java?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

It claims the code breaks rule 5.21 of the "Metamata Audit rules", but 
as far as I can see it matches the JLS correctly.

I agree with Adam, the tool is wrong.
