There is a test[1] in classlib, which verifies that reflection access

IllegalAccessException.
However, this is against the language specification (para 6.6.1 of the
JLS3):

I found out, this is an acknowledged bug of RI [2], and is ranked TOP#6.
The good news, however, that DRLVM is free of this defect. OTOH, it
surely cannot pass the aforementioned test of the classlib.
So the question: should we fix the test and will IBM VME address this
issue? What is appropriate JIRA category for it?
I suppose this test should be modified after IBM VME will behave in
accordance with the specifications if any.
I agree, if IBM will fix it, if they have the problem.
Certainly, if there are no any objections. IMO we should avoid any bugs
known for the RI, shouldn't we?
I think that we should fix this, since it's a known bug of the RI that
may be fixed...
I know that Alexey setup a JIRA for it, so we can revisit...

Thanks,
Vladimir.
