Description Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-05-30 06:54:30 EDT 
Build 20020528

If a <clinit> method is added/removed, it is treated as a structural change, 
and will therefore induce recompiling all dependents.

This can be nasty when adding a bogus import on an interface, though it affects 
nobody, a <clinit> might get added to report the problem (problem method) and 
therefore a major recompilation can be triggered if interface is quite used.

We now by default ignore synthetic fields/methods & clinit methods.
