Yes, you can. Use Field.Index or Field.Store, these Index and Store classes 
are inner classes to the Field class.

They are named Field$Index or Field$Store because that's the way Java names 
inner classes. Sure, I could rename them, but why ? You can use Field.Store 
or Field.Index already. In what situation are you faced with having to deal 
with Field$Index ?
