Description Paul Hoffman

External types can include definitions of variables specified as static final in the Java class being wrapped by the type.   For example, "CONCUR_UPDATABLE int" is a such a variable in SQLResultSet.

EGL language allows values to be assigned to CONCUR_UPDATABLE.    This will result in a runtime exception because the variable is static final. 

It would be a lot friendlier if the language allowed the developer to specify limits on its usage.

Updated parser to allow const in ET fields (after the optional 'static' modifier). ET wizard now generates 'const' for final fields. And the code formatter was updated to support const in this location.
