Visiting the field doesn't visit the declStmt anymore. Only visiting the initializer does. In fact, that code is a total no-op, JFields don't have a visit declared in this visitor, and don't visit any children. http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/1443807/ -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
