RFR: 5047859 : (reflect) Class.getField can't find String[].length

[Joel Borggren-Franck]

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments. New webrev here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jfranck/5047859/webrev.03/

I have also created a specdiff to make it easier to visualize the doc
change:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jfranck/5047859/specdiff/overview-summary.html

I made some bigger changes this time to unify the doc of all four
get{Declared}Field{s} methods. I also try to be consistent with the
proposed doc change for getMethods and friends that I will post later
today.

General outline of the docs is roughly:

<!-- Basic result -->
<!-- Interesting results -->
<!-- Empty results -->
<!-- Order of results -->

I also updated the test to cover all four cases.

cheers
/Joel
