Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-09-03 11:07:42 EDT 
2.x

- create the following CU
public class A {
	private int fClass;
	
	public void foo() {
	}

	void setClass(int c) {
		fClass = c;
	}

	int getClass() {
		return fClass;
	}
}

- create an AST for it

observe: the error messages reported by the AST doesn't contain a message for
the fact that the return type of "int getClass()" is incompatible with 
Object.getClass()
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2002-09-04 16:04:45 EDT 
This check is done with:
// verify inherited methods
if (unit.scope != null)
    unit.scope.verifyMethods(lookupEnvironment.methodVerifier());

This is not included in the resolve method of the compiler. Like this method is
also used for the code assist support, this resolution might have some
side-effects on the code assist.
Need to investigate.
