And I tracked our problems with The javax.swing.Box inner class AccessibleBox
extends AccessibleAWTContainer in GNU Classpath to a similar order problem.
Take the following source files:
p/AClass.java
::::::::::::::
package p;
public class AClass
{
protected abstract class InnerA
{
protected InnerA()
{
}
}
}
::::::::::::::
q/BClass.java
::::::::::::::
package q;
import p.*;
public class BClass extends AClass
{
protected class InnerB extends AClass.InnerA
{
}
}
::::::::::::::
q/CClass.java
::::::::::::::
package q;
import p.AClass;
public class CClass extends BClass
{
protected class InnerC extends AClass.InnerA
{
}
}
When compiled as follows all goes well:
$ gcj -C p/AClass.java q/BClass.java q/CClass.java
But when we change the order to:
$ gcj -C p/AClass.java q/CClass.java q/BClass.java
q/CClass.java:5: error: Nested class p.AClass$InnerA is protected; cannot be
accessed from here.
protected class InnerC extends AClass.InnerA
