Description Randy Rohrbach CLA 2011-01-03 20:18:20 EST 
The ImportDialog for the transport services has a protected method which is required to be public.

The method scrollRenderings(BigInteger address) is protected. This has
not been a problem since all of the transports to date have been done
within the same package. 

I am creating a proprietary transport and when I do this method comes up
as unavailable.

It needs to be public. This is technically a change of an API, but I unless
I use reflection to get to this method, it needs to be changed.

I am creating a patch to show this and will discuss, it with the community before committing it.

It is the case that this method is standardly used in all if the various importers. I am creating a custom importer and do not want to loose the
functionality. It should have been public in the first place.

Well I got only one comment in response and it was a vote for.

So I am applying this change to 7.0.x and 8.0
