Question about get Method Handle to interface field

[Remi Forax]

Hi Radek,
Do you still trying to implement properties in Java ?

It seem to be an overlook to me,
getstatic and putstatic are allowed on a static field declared in an interface, getstatic and putstatic use a CONSTANT_Fieldref so unlike constant method handle based on method which need to know if the owner is an interface or not (to generate a CONSTANT_Methodref or a CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodRef), see JVMS 4.4.2.

The following patch should fix the issue
  case ClassFile.REF_getStatic:
  case ClassFile.REF_putStatic:
      staticOk = true;
+       interfaceOwner = true;
  case ClassFile.REF_getField:
