There appears to be a problem with security checks recently added to reflection code. The 
following test case incorrectly throws IllegalAccessException.

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class RefTest
{
  int value;

  public static void main(String[] args) 
    throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException
  {
    RefTest testObj = new RefTest();
    Field field = RefTest.class.getDeclaredField("value");
    field.setInt(testObj, 777);
  }
}
