Step 1: Create the class.

package p1;
public class A {
  private long n(  int a){
    return 38;
  }
  public long test(){
    return n(2);
  }
}

package p2;
import p1.*;
public class B extends A {
  protected long k(  int a){
    return 58;
  }
}

package p2;
import p1.*;
public class C extends A {
}

Step 2: apply the rename method to rename n to k. Eclipse will show a warning: Type in its hierarchy defines a method with the same number of parameters and same parameter type names. 

In spite of the warning, the behavior of this program would be preserved after the transformation. This precondition seems to be too strong.
