static finals can get converted to int or String literals that no
longer reference the original class.  That is why you need clean
compiles if you have inter class references of static finals that you
have changed.

The compiler has to be able to see everything referenced, either as
source on the sourcepath or class files on the classpath

"If you change this, remember to change ?XXX? too".
