Description kely_garcia CLA 2007-06-30 02:19:25 EDT
Build ID: I20070608-1718

Steps To Reproduce:
Pull up method m on the following:

public class A {
  private Object theField;
class B extends C {
    public void m(){
      new A().theField=null;
    }
    void mPrime(){
      m();
    }
  }
}
class C {
  private Object theField;
}

Yields the following refactored code:

public class A {
	private Object theField;

	class B extends C {
		void mPrime() {
			m();
		}
	}
}

class C {
	private Object theField;

	public void m() {
		new A().theField = null;
	}
}

The compilation error is: "the field A.theField is not visible"

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
