Consider this class:

public class Dummy {

public static final String FIELD = "field";

private String field;

}

On 3.5, if i put my cursor below the field declaration and request content assist, I would expect to see getField() offered for the "field" member. But instead it offers getField() for FIELD. This seems wrong. I don't remember it behaving like this in 3.4. Is this expected or a bug?

Cheers
