Re: Add a new field to a class - urgent

The name is the name of the field, the signature describes the type, so
if you had a field like this

String[] foo;

The name_index would point to a ConstantUtf8 entry that contained
foo

The signature_index would point to a ConstantUtf8 entry that contained
[Ljava/lang/String;

ConstantPoolGen.addFieldRef would be one way of adding these items to the 
constant pool
