Hi, could Rich or someone knowledgeable look into this (reflection
related?) NullPointerException in Compiler.java.
I think it's either a bug or at least should provide a better error
message, but I don't have any time to look deeper into it..
Thanks, Jon

I was using clojure-1.0 but looks likely to still be a problem with
the trunk.
* compile the below java class and make available on classpath:
package mypkg;
public class MyClass {
public MyClass() {
}
Object myField;
}
* then this line of clojure throws a NullPointerException:
(set! (.myField (mypkg.MyClass.)) "test")

When myField definition is private, as above, (or completely removed)
the NullPointerException
occurs. When you add 'public' to myField definition, the problem goes
away..
Looking at InstanceFieldExpr in Compiler.java (approx line 900)..
the emit() and emitUnboxed() functions guard against 'field' being
null
if(targetClass != null && field != null)
but the emitAssign() function doesn't
if(targetClass != null)
and therefore in this case field.getType() causes the
NullPointerException
