Bug 399350

Description Gustavo Soares 2013-01-28 21:35:06 EST

Step 1: Create the classes:

package p1;
public class A{
  protected long k(){ return 85; }
}
package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A{
  public long m (){
    return k();
  }
  protected long k(){return 77;}
}

Step 2: apply the pull up method to the method m(). Eclipse will show a warning:  The visibility of method 'p2.B.k()' will be changed to public. However we can apply these transformation even without changing the visibility of the method B.k. The following program compiles:

package p1;
public class A{
  protected long k(){ return 85; }
  public long m() {
    return k();
  }
}
package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A{
  protected long k(){return 77;}
}
