Hi Alan,

Would you open issue, I will take it!?

Maybe also post your opinion about think fix #1 or fix #2 is better. I tend to 
go for fix #1. getDeclaredField() should theoretically be faster, but that 
won't matter here: If it goes the slow path (going up to superclass) it will 
fail anyways and that's the exceptional case. A correct factory should have a 
NAME field and its lookup is fast and the additional check introduced for the 
class is cheap.

Uwe
