Description David Zazeski CLA 2008-04-26 16:04:47 EDT
Build ID: M20071023-1652

Steps To Reproduce:
Input Classes

First.java:

public class First {
	public static void x()
	{
	}
}

Second.java:

public class Second {
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		First.x();
	}
}

1. Use Change Method Signature to change method "x" in First from public to private.

Expected Behavior: A warning since methods in class Second call First.

Actual Behavior: Eclipse changes method "x" to private without warning. The following Java compiler error appears for class Second:

"The method x() from the type First 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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
