Yeah, or do bytecode rewriting in the class loader :-) Stuart> Sun has a whole "constant field values" page in their documentation Stuart> and all these values are listed there - even the RCSIDs.

Perhaps the javadoc comments could use an '@specnote' before the text explaining the lameness of these fields?
