Deencapsulation.setField() is broken for JDK8 after I upgrade to v1.24

[pmodulo]

Please provide the following information:

• Version of JMockit that was used: v1.24
• Description of the problem or enhancement request:Deencapsulation.setField() is broken for JDK8 after I upgrade to v1.24. My tests started to fail with the following error message:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Can not set static final java.util.HashMap field xxx.xxx.xxx to java.util.HashMap
Caused by:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Can not set static final java.util.HashMap field xxx.xxx.xxx to java.util.HashMap
at java.lang.reflect.Field.set(Field.java:764)

I am unable to reproduce the problem. Could you show an example failing test?

[pmodulo]

import java.util.HashMap;

public class MyClass {
private static final int SOME_CONSTANT = 12;

private static final HashMap map = new HashMap();
}

import org.junit.Test;

import mockit.Deencapsulation;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

public class MyClassTest {
@test
public void jMockitBug() {
MyClass clz = new MyClass();
int orig = Deencapsulation.getField(MyClass.class, "SOME_CONSTANT");
Deencapsulation.setField(MyClass.class, "SOME_CONSTANT", 20);
int updated = Deencapsulation.getField(MyClass.class, "SOME_CONSTANT");
assertEquals(20, updated);
Deencapsulation.setField(MyClass.class, "SOME_CONSTANT", orig);
assertEquals(orig, (int) Deencapsulation.getField(MyClass.class, "SOME_CONSTANT"));
}
}

There was 1 failure:

Note: Deencapsulation.setField indeed does not support setting a static final field.
