Description Levente Mészáros CLA 2011-11-22 11:10:02 EST 
Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

This problem should either be detected at compile time or should not cause a runtime error at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create plugin A.
2. Create class SUPER in package P.
3. Create protected method M in SUPER.
4. Create plugin B.
5. Create class SUB derived from SUPER in package P.
6. Create inner class INNER in SUB.
7. Create method N in INNER that calls the method M in SUB inherited from SUPER.

Please attach a small test case that shows the problem.
Unless it is absolutely needed, eliminate plugins and
all eclipse'isms and provide a stand alone java test case.
If you are able to put together a small java test case,
document how the latest javac compiler behaves, TIA.
