Possible bug or strange behavior

Hi
This is the first time I'm writing to a list, so I'm not sure whether this
should be sent to DevList or UserList. Sorry if I'm sending this to the
wrong list.
I'm using 1.7.0 version of commons-beanutils. The possible bug (or issue)
I've found is in lines 416 to 418 of class MethodUtils when I'm evaluating
an Enum's constant-specific method, which overrides an abstract one.
Those lines are the following:

415: // If the declaring class is public, we are done
416: Class clazz = method.getDeclaringClass();
417: if (Modifier.isPublic(clazz.getModifiers())) {
418: return (method);
419: }

Since every constant of the Enum is compiled as a separate anonymous class
extending the Enum, evaluating its modifiers doesn't return public, which
causes the above return to be skipped.
My question is: should the above code be modified to consider that
particular case? Because the method is actually public and it's declaring
class (the constant, actually) too.

Here I show the code for testing this behavior:


The enum:

public enum SomeEnum {
CNSTANT1 {
public String getLabel() {
return "a";
}
},
CNSTANT2 {
public String getLabel() {
return "b";
}
};
public abstract String getLabel();
}


The test class:

public class TestEnum {

public static void main(String[] args) {
SomeEnum a = SomeEnum.CNSTANT1;
Method[] methods = a.getClass().getMethods();
System.out.println(a.getClass());
for (int i = 0; i < methods.length; i++) {
Method method = methods[i];
System.out.println(method.getName() + " - " +
evaluateMethod(method));
}
}

private static boolean evaluateMethod(Method method) {
return Modifier.isPublic(method.getDeclaringClass().getMo difiers());
}
