Fixes problems reported as :
Bad
* field javax.accessibility.AccessibleAction.DECREMENT: constant
[decrement] in harmony15, but not constant in jdk15
* field javax.accessibility.AccessibleAction.INCREMENT: constant
[increment] in harmony15, but not constant in jdk15
That is, the actual value is computed at runtime rather than compile
time. Not sure that it would make any difference in practice, but it
may form part of the signature test which is why I suppose japi cares
about it.
