    Description

      The signature test can check constant values of the static final fields ("ST" field in the example below) but doesn't check the constant values of the non-static fields ("NST" field in the example below). Since the non-static constant values may effect the source code compatibility (see switch-case example below caused the "duplicate case label" compilation error), they should be tracked by the sigtest as well.

      ====
      class Test {
          public static final int ST = 1;
          public final int NST = 2;
         
      }

      class Test2 extends Test {
         {
              switch (0) {
                  case NST:
                  case 2:
              }
          }
      }
      > duplicate case label
      > case 2:
      > 1 error
