Obsolete call to "j.l.reflect.AccessibleObject.setAccessible(true)"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Running beanshell scripts in a restricted Environment (with installed 
SecurityManager) fails with SecurityException, even when 
"setAccessibility(true)" isn't called.

There are more of these calls, I (or tests) didn't spot them because of legacy 
code which automagically set "accessibility" to "true" if a class is generated 
from beanshell code.
This has been removed with rev#135 (in v2.1 branch). This revealed some more 
flaws. The major drawback of the change is compatibility - you can achieve the 
old behaviour if you explictly switch "accessibility" on. But legacy code 
couldn't be changed :(

One workaround is preserving the old behaviour for constructors: If the script 
defines a class with a protected constructor creating an instance would fail 
now. This is one use case I found by googling (and the only one - because of 
the lack of documentation for class creation in beanshell - surly because of 
the pure implementation). So the checkin contains a "fix" for this by setting 
the constructor(s) public - if "accessibility" is off, which is the default now.

#$%& wtf, great mess..

One more thing: Initializing final fields from constructor failed, I can't see 
if this is also caused by driving with seat belts now ("accessibility" = 
false). Could be since setting final fields is allowed in the old mode. Fixed 
also by r135, change is

This change makes the accessibility.bsh fail in line 87 when accessing a static 
public member (in Java 1.6.0_45 ) ( mypackage.Accessibility1.supersfield4 )

Is this really because of the changes here? There is a comment over the 
mentioned line: "why is this broken?".
Sounds for me like this was broken before (the script was never changed after 
the initial fork).
