Build ID: M20060921-0945 Steps To Reproduce: 1. Define a class with a final field 2. Give it a constructor which takes an instance of the same class 3. In the constructor, "initialize" the final field belonging to the passed-in instance instead of this. Or better, just see the attached file. More information: A constructor can "initialize" a final field of another instance instead of the field in the instance being created. The attached program compiles with Eclipse, and allows a final field to be overwritten; Both Sun's javac and gcj refuse to compile it.
