Bug 92450

Summary: [quick fix] Incorrect quickfix in "Access to a non-accessible member of an enclosing type" warning
Product: [Eclipse Project] JDT Reporter: Noam Tamim <noamtm>
Component: UIAssignee: JDT-UI-Inbox <jdt-ui-inbox>
Status: CLOSED WONTFIX QA Contact:
Severity: minor    
Priority: P3 CC: deepakazad
Version: 3.0.1   
Target Milestone: ---   
Hardware: All   
OS: All   
Whiteboard: stalebug

Description Noam Tamim CLA 2005-04-22 16:26:16 EDT
Consider this simple test case:

// File: test1/Test1.java
package test1;
public class Test {
	protected int protectedField;
}

// File: test2/Test2.java
package test2;
public class Test2 extends test1.Test {
	class Nested {
		int i=protectedField;
	}
}

When setting the advanced compiler option "Access to a non-accessible member of
an enclosing type" to Warning, Eclipse complains about the access to
protectedField - which is okay. BUT it also presents a quick-fix: "Change
modifier of 'protectedField' to default visibility". 
Since the visibility of protectedField is already higher than 'default', it
makes no sense.

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.
