The behaviour of the following program changes when B is moved to another package: public class A { void m() {System.out.println("A");} public void n() {m();} public static void main(String[] a) {(new B()).n();} } public class B extends A { void m() {System.out.println("B");} } A warning "The method B.m() does not override the inherited method from A since it is private to a different package" is issued after the refactoring, but this may be easily overlooked (and the offered quick fix is also broken, since it changes to default). The refactoring should either refuse to perform or increase accessibility of m in A and B to protected (given that this does not cause other problems).
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
