Awesome, thanks!  It built but I got errors:

    [junit] Testsuite: seph.lang.code.BasicSanityTest
    [junit] Tests run: 40, Failures: 0, Errors: 40, Time elapsed: 0.121 sec

Ahh, I see the problem:

    [junit] Testcase: printing_accumulator_values(seph.lang.code.BasicSanityTest):      Caused an ERROR
    [junit] null
    [junit] java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

This is covered by:

7035513: JSR 292: MHs.constant() doesn't accept primitives
