Java HotSpot server and client VMs (build 1.4.0-beta-b51, build 1.3.1-beta-b15)
fail to pass the test

    nsk/jdi/TypeComponent/isSynthetic/issynthetic001
    
This test checks if TypeComponent.isSynthetic() method returns true
for synthetic fields and returns false otherwise.

However, we did not find any problem with TypeComponent.isSynthetic()
being applied to methods.

Please note, that the method VirtualMachine.canGetSyntheticAttribute()
returns true, so checking isSynthetic() method is legal.

There are the classes ClassToCheck and NestedClass (declared within
ClassToCheck) loaded by the debugee VM, and 87 fields are declared
in the NestedClass.

Debugger finds 88 fields returned by the method ReferenceType.fields() for
the class NestedClass -- 87 fields declared explicitely in the Java source
for the class NestedClass, and the field named 'this$0' that is not declared
in the source code. Therefore, this field must be marked as synthetic; but
isSynthetic() returns false for the field 'this$0'.
