Regarding sebb note after my removal of final.

@Sebb, can you explain why we need final here ? I don't get it.
Reading literature, having final transient for non static field does not
seems to be a valid thing except for compile-time *constant expression*
(§15.28) of http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se5.0/jls3.pdf.

If I am wrong, can you point me to the section of spec or reference article
that says we should have here final transient ?

I agree with you it will work wether or not we put it but as per specs it
seems wrong to put final.

I am always keen on learning new things so will be happy here to understand
what's wrong.
Thanks
Regards
Philippe
