final fields not recognised

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

Final fields of a class are not taken into account to generate the builder 
code. 

I use the builder to create immutable objects.

Works for me with this class:

public class Person {
    private String firstname;
    private final String lastname;
}

Generates:

public class Person {
    private String firstname;
    private final String lastname;

    public static class Builder {
        private String firstname;
        private String lastname;

        public Builder firstname(String firstname) {
            this.firstname = firstname;
            return this;
        }

        public Builder lastname(String lastname) {
            this.lastname = lastname;
            return this;
        }

        public Person build() {
            return new Person(this);
        }
    }

    private Person(Builder builder) {
        this.firstname = builder.firstname;
        this.lastname = builder.lastname;
    }
}

which seems to be entirely correct w.r.t. the final field.

This does not work for me either.

I just ran into this as well using Eclipe Juno and the BPEP 1.0.0 SNAPSOT.

When creating the test class below:

public class Person {
    private final String firstName;
    private final String lastName;
}

And attempting to run the builder, there are no fields which are selectable 
(see attached image).  Removing the final modifier from both of the fields 
makes it work as expected.

Final fields are supported again in the newest version of the code, thanks to 
the patch submitted in issue #9. The code for the newest version can nowadays 
be found from GitHub: https://github.com/henningjensen/bpep :)
