A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The java compiler incorrectly inlines inherited static final fields, also failing to apply correct disambiguation rules.

In presence of multiply inherited fields (through interfaces), the value javac choses to inline violates the JVM spec, and is inconsistent with other fields resolved at run-time (or the same field resolved through reflection).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the provided source code:
javac Main.java
java Main

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
1 -> int (compile-time)
1 -> Object (run-time)
1 -> reflected int (run-time)
1 -> reflected Object (run-time)

(same value weather resolved at run-time or compile-time)
ACTUAL -
0 -> int (compile-time)
1 -> Object (run-time)
1 -> reflected int (run-time)
1 -> reflected Object (run-time)

(value resolved at compile-time by javac is inconsistent with values resolved at run-time)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
interface A {
    int i = 1;
    Object o = new Integer(1);
}

interface B {
    int i = 2;
    Object o = new Integer(2);
}

interface C extends A, B {
}

class D {
    public static final int i = 0;
    public static final Object o = new Integer(0);
}

class Main extends D implements C {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        System.out.println(Main.i + " -> int (compile-time)");
        System.out.println(Main.o + " -> Object (run-time)");
        System.out.println(Main.class.getField("i").get(null) + " -> reflected int (run-time)");
        System.out.println(Main.class.getField("o").get(null) + " -> reflected Object (run-time)");
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Its a rather convoluted example, just don't use it.
