Nice to see WorkArounds being chipped away. It is not clear to me if additional tests are warranted for
getConstantValue for TestConstantValuesDriver.java, in langtools test I saw only ElementStructureTest.java. I will
leave it to you, maybe file a follow up issue.

yay

Should there be tests for Float, Double, Long ?
