Description Chris Jaun CLA 2011-07-01 15:28:41 EDT 
The constant value of the FieldReference needs to be set to NotAConstant if all cases if the field is a "prototype" value.

If it doesn't it can lead to NPE's down the road if that field is used in a binary expression that tries to read the constant value.

Comment 3 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2011-07-11 09:47:50 EDT 
Any issues possible with this.resolvedType not being set before some of the same method's returns?
