java.lang.reflect.Modifier defines constants like
ABSTRACT as an int - but does the value of ABSTRACT
have to be 0x0400 as it is in the classfile spec?

Suggestion: state in the javadoc for Modifier that the
constants are derived from the classfile spec.

I hope this isn't too picky but it seems that the class might
as well state this...

And one bug id that I hope you don't close this as a dup of :)

9/1/99 eval1127@eng -- 4105333 does seem to have the same subject, but its claimed fix is both unverified and undocumented (no ref to where/when fixed).
FIling new bug, even if only FYI...
