Yes, with Dan's changes it means this is another case of constants 
referenced in native code but without any native methods on the defining 
class. If it wasn't a candidate to include in the base module then it 
would be a candidate for @GenerativeNativeHeaders. I believe that 
annotation will soon be changed and will move to java.lang.annotation, 
in which case the concerns about putting it on core classes will go away.
