JDK-4106051 - Class literals do not follow correct access rights
Description

Name: rm29839			Date: 02/04/98


sun.rmi.server.ActivationGroupImp access a field
in java.rmmi.activation.ActivationGroup that 
has access flags of 0x8 --> a static field
which can only be accessed by a class within
the package. This is a type safety flaw, even
though classes loaded from disk are not 
verified, they should be.

The field is:
Class clas$java$rmi$MarshelledObject

EVALUATION ann.wollrath@east, 1998-02-04: This was a problem with javac generating class literals that refer to private static fields of a parent class. It was caught when strict VM checking was turned on. It is already fixed (4106051).
