Bug 480070

Summary: [Push Down] incorrectly reduce visibility of the inherited method
Product: [Eclipse Project] JDT Reporter: Jongwook Kim <jongwook.kim>
Component: UIAssignee: JDT-UI-Inbox <jdt-ui-inbox>
Status: CLOSED WONTFIX QA Contact:
Severity: normal    
Priority: P3 CC: jongwook.kim
Version: 4.5.1   
Target Milestone: ---   
Hardware: PC   
OS: Windows 7   
Whiteboard: stalebug

Description Jongwook Kim CLA 2015-10-18 15:27:37 EDT
Given:

class A{
    void m() {}	 
    void n() {
        this.m();
    }
}

class B extends A {	
    void m() {}
}

When A.n() is pushed down, Eclipse warns that A.m() will be changed to "protected". When I "continue", the refactoring produces a compilation error by reducing the visibility of the inherited B.m()

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.
