Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-01-09 10:40:54 EST 
Using 0107,

We don't report an error for the following source.
[package pkg;
public class A1 {
    public static A[] array;
    protected static class A {}
}]

[
class A {
    int i = pkg.A1.array.length;
}
]

1) Compile these two sources files.
2) We don't report any error.

javac 1.4.1 or jikes 1.18 report a visibility problem on pkg.A1.array.
Same problem with private access.

Fixed in latest, also added support for reporting visibility issue against 
receiver type.
