FreeMarker staticUtil breaks after upgrade from 7.2.0 GA1 to 7.2.1 GA2

Hi everyone!
On Liferay 7.2.0 CE GA1, inside a Web Content Template we had the following import of static constants:
WorkflowConstants = staticUtil["com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants"]
After an upgrade to Liferay 7.2.1 CE GA2, this snippets does not work anymore and the error reported is the following:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants cannot be found by com.liferay.portal.template.freemarker_5.0.16
With other imports, for example 
 WindowState = staticUtil["javax.portlet.WindowState"]
, everything seems working as before, we got this error only for WorkflowConstants.
Any ideas or workaround on how to solve this?
Thank you.

Hi Alessandro,
Can you try with other classes in portal-kernel? it seems that the template can't see this jar somehow.

Hi Alberto, I've solved in this way:
<#assign STATUS_APPROVED = staticFieldGetter.getFieldValue("com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants", "STATUS_APPROVED")/>
