[Bug classpath/33813] New: Enum.valueOf throws java.lang.Error: Unable to access Enum class

[stephan at cs dot tu-berlin dot de]

The following snippet runs on Sun VM but fails when using Gun classpath 
(using JamVM):

public class T {
    static enum E { A, B, C }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        E e= E.valueOf("A");
        System.out.println(e);
    }
}

Reason: the implementation of Enum.valueOf uses reflection to access
the value of field E.A, but class Enum is not in the same package as
E and thus has no access to this field.
=> Field.get(..) throws IllegalAccessException.

Chaning E to public avoids the problem.
