Build id: I20100802-1800.

For the following case, the quickfix offered is "change visibility of m() to public", which is wrong:

package p0;

class A {
    public class M {
        public M() {
            System.out.println("Invoked M()");
        }
    }
}

-------------------------------------------

package p0;

public class B {
    public static A m() {
        return new A();
    }
}

-------------------------------------------

package p1;
import p0.B;

class C {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        B.m().new M();         // error at B.m() -> The type A is not visible
    }
}

The correct quickfix should be "change visibility of A to public".
This also happens if we're accessing a method from A, or a field, instead of the constructor for M as shown above.
