While verifying the fix for bug# 269388, I noticed
that javac 1.6 rejects the following with an "illegal
forward reference" error while we gladly accept it.

public enum Enun {
        A(Enun.STATIK);
        private static int STATIK = 1;

        private Enun(final int i) {
        }
}

javac needs STATIK to be declared as final before it would
accept it.
