JDK 6 Build 102 JSR 269 API Changes

Build 102 included a very small change to the JSR 269 API: the specification of the VariableElement.getConstantValue method was changed so that a value was returned independent of the static-ness of a final field. The implementation already behaved that way; the specification mistakenly excluded the non-static case.

This is the last planned change to the JSR 269 API before its final approval ballot.
