Hi All, I posit that you shouldn't be able to change the contents of a a final field.
However, if you use Field.setAccessible(true) before calling Lookup.unreflectSetter(Field), then you can get a MethodHandle that allows you to set the (reflected) value of a static final field. This seems wrong to me, so here's a change to fix it. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~afarley/8216558/webrev/ bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8216558 Opinions invited.
