> Final array elements are not themselves final.
> So any final arrays should always be private, otherwise external code can corrupt the entries accidentally or deliberately.
> Either the array can be accessed through a getter that clones the contents, or the entries can be accessed through a getter that returns a single entry.
> This issue affects:
> Constants.class:
> CONSTANT_NAMES
> ACCESS_NAMES
> INTERFACES_IMPLEMENTED_BY_ARRAYS
> TYPE_NAMES
> CLASS_TYPE_NAMES
> SHORT_TYPE_NAMES
> NO_OF_OPERANDS
> TYPE_OF_OPERANDS
> OPCODE_NAMES
> CONSUME_STACK
> PRODUCE_STACK
> ATTRIBUTE_NAMES
> ITEM_NAMES
> METHODHANDLE_NAMES
