/**
 *  <p>
 *  This is a small utility class allow easy access to static fields in a class,
 *  such as string constants.  Velocity will not introspect for class
 *  fields (and won't in the future :), but writing setter/getter methods to do
 *  this really is a pain,  so use this if you really have
 *  to access fields.
 *
 *  <p>
 *  The idea it so enable access to the fields just like you would in Java.
 *  For example, in Java, you would access a static field like
 *  <blockquote><pre>
 *  MyClass.STRING_CONSTANT
 *  </pre></blockquote>
 *  and that is the same thing we are trying to allow here.
 *
 *  <p>
 *  So to use in your Java code, do something like this :
 *  <blockquote><pre>
 *   context.put("runtime", new FieldMethodizer( "org.apache.velocity.runtime.Runtime" ));
 *  </pre></blockquote>
 *  and then in your template, you can access any of your static fields in this way :
 *  <blockquote><pre>
 *   $runtime.COUNTER_NAME
 *  </pre></blockquote>
 *
 *  <p>
 *  Right now, this class only methodizes <code>public static</code> fields.  It seems
 *  that anything else is too dangerous.  This class is for convenience accessing
 *  'constants'.  If you have fields that aren't <code>static</code> it may be better
 *  to handle them by explicitly placing them into the context.
