java allows access to
them from the outer class, but the JVM doesn't so javac generates synthetic
accessor methods for them.  Don't think it's a problem for JIT compiler
though as it should inline them.

yes, there are unconditionally inlined so performance is not the problem.
The issues are more that the compiler generates unnecessary code,
unnecessary class metadata, stack pollution and stacktrace pollution too.

Hello.

  In HashMap, the class Holder should not declare the static final fields
'private' because the compiler will generate an accessor in that case,

I wasn't aware that making fields private could have a downside
(other than making them non-visible).

Could you, or anyone, please give (a link to) more info about this?

I'm interested too.
