Summary: attempting static access of non-static causes null ptr

Initial Comment:
compile this class:
public class A{
  public String s="S";
}

in the interactions pane, type "A.s"

while the attempt is illegal, it throws a null pointer exception rather than a more informative error message 

"NullPointerException: 
  at sun.reflect.UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.ensureObj(UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.java:36)
  at sun.reflect.UnsafeObjectFieldAccessorImpl.get(UnsafeObjectFieldAccessorImpl.java:18)
  at java.lang.reflect.Field.get(Field.java:358)"
