Steps To Reproduce:
Take the following program:

  class A {
    public int i;
  }

  class B extends A {
    private int getI() { return 42; }
  }

Using "Encapsulate Field" on A.i generates (without warning) a public getter method A.getI(), which triggers a compiler error, since B.getI() is private and cannot override it. Related problems occur if, for example, the return type of B.getI() is something other than "int".
