Bug 239833

public class Try {
	//Illegal modifier for the method Try.Try():
	public synchronized Try(int a) { }
	
	//Illegal modifier for the method Try.Try():
	public final static Try() { }
	
	//Illegal modifier for the method m.Try():
	public volatile void m() { }
	
	//Illegal modifier for the field fField; only public, protected,
	// private, static, final, transient & volatile are permitted
	public synchronized int fField;
}

The errors for illegal modifiers on methods and constructors are a bit odd:
- Range is the method & parameter list
   => Expected: The actually illegal modifier
- Talk about method even for constructors
- Would be nice if they listed the allowed modifiers (as in the error for fields)
