Hi All:

I have a use case where I need to use reflection to set a public static
final Object.

This does not work with our FieldUtils class because the "forceAccess"
argument is only used to deal with field visibility by calling
Field#setAccessible(boolean)

Q1: Should "forceAccess" be expanded to remove the final modifier? Or:
Q2: Should we add another boolean parameter "forceWrite" to remove the
FINAL modifier?

I like Q1.

Q3: The Accessible flag is NOT reset if changed after a write! I think it
should be. Thoughts?

Gary
