access modifier for FileDescriptor.setNativeFd(long)

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi!

I'm currently porting parts of GNU classpath to OVM (http://www.ovmj.org).  In 
the process I hit a problem with the access modifier of 
FileDescriptor.setNativeFd(long).  In order to avoid having to set that field 
using reflection, I would need that method to be default (currently private). 

I believe that change is generally the right thing to do. First, a private 
accessor method makes little sense anyway.  Also, in a similar context the 
native_fd field in gnu.java.net.PlainSocketImpl is also package-scoped 
(default) (there is a tiny difference in that PlainSocketImpl does not use 
accessor methods, but I don't think it matters either way).

The (trivial) patch to make this happen is attached.
