You should have got a warning like "WARNING: An illegal reflective 
access ...".  Eventually it will be disallowed by default but in the 
mean-time there are dozens of ways to break the integrity, create 
security issues, or crash the VM with this type of hacking. Do you know 
what this library wants to change the value of an immutable String?
