Very true, arrays like any other expression tree may not always have  
an element.

I am calling InternalUtils on variables in assignments to see if they  
are assignable fields or not. A variable in an assignment should  
always have an element.

I think that occured within SRManagerTest.java in FreePastry. I will  
investigate this again to see what the actual problem was. I think it  
was that simply that the implicit constructor was using full canonical  
names for the constructor which would cause the other problem I saw. I  
came across SRManagerTest before the other problems.

Agreed. Better communication is usually good =).
