Description Thomas Singer CLA 2011-12-14 05:49:46 EST 
Build Identifier: 

Some subclasses of Widget are supposed for overriding like Composite. For those it makes sense for overriding some methods which usually are package protected.

Reproducible: Always

Why do you want to overwrite getNameText() ?
couldn't you re-implement toString() instead ?
