to change a field modifier

[vc]

Could anybody help me with the following problem that looks trivial? I need to change a field modifier for a certain class.

my code is:

ClassPool pool = ClassPool.getDefault();
pool.insertClassPath("C:/...");
Loader classLoader = new Loader(pool);
CtClass clazz = pool.get("HelloWorld");
CtField f = clazz.getField("text");
f.setModifiers(Modifier.PUBLIC);
pool.writeFile("HelloWorld");

The "text" field stayed private, why?

I'm using javassist2.5.1

Thankx

That was a bug. It has been fixed and the updated
code is in the CVS. You can download it from the
CVS if you need the fix right now.

I'll make a new release package 2.6 by the end of
August.
