Description

JUnit test returns errors below.
FieldUtilsTest.testGetAllFields:154 expected:<5> but was:<7>
FieldUtilsTest.testGetAllFieldsList:168 expected:<5> but was:<7>

Both methods has a parameter "FieldUtils.getAllFields(PublicChild.class).length ."
PublicChild which has 1 field extends Parent which has 4 fields.

I made a dummy class which contains no field, the result of getAllFields() was 1, not 0.
Lang-3.4 doesn't have this problem.

PublicChild2.java

public class PublicChild2 {

	static final String VALUE = "child";
}

FieldUtilsTest.java

assertEquals(1, PublicChild2.class.getDeclaredFields().length);

Result: fails. returns 2
