Bug 399789

Description Gustavo Soares 2013-02-02 18:16:17 EST

Step 1: Create the classes:

package p1;
public class A{
  long k(){ return 58; }
  public long m(){
    return new C().k();
  }
}

package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A {
}

package p1;
import p2.*;
public class C extends B {
  public long k(){return 24;}
}


Step 2: apply the change method signature to add a parameter "int i" to the method A.k. Eclipse will show a warning: the method k(int) from type A is not visible. However, if we apply the transformation regardless the warning, the resulting program will compile:

package p1;
public class A{
  long k(int i){ return 58; }
  public long m(){
    return new C().k(0);
  }
}


package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A {
}

package p1;
import p2.*;
public class C extends B {
  public long k(int i){return 24;}
}
