Test case:
class ASTNode {
	public final static long Bit38L = 0x2000000000L;
}
public class X {
	public static final long Autoboxing = ASTNode.Bit38L;
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int i = args.length;
		switch(i) {
			case (int) Autoboxing >>> 32 :
				System.out.println("Autoboxing");
				break;
			default:
				System.out.println("Default");
		}
	}
}

jikes reports a warning for the expression (int) Autoboxing >>> 32.

Issued 1 semantic warning compiling "d:/tests_sources/X.java":

     9.                 final int IntAutoBoxing = (int) Autoboxing >>> 32;
                                                                       ^^
*** Semantic Caution: The shift count of 32 is >= the 32-bit width of the type.

The result will always be 0 whatever the value of the constant Autoboxing. So
this is highly possible that this is a user bug.
