However it has many protected static methods that > likely should have been package protected (default access) instead. > If we can stomach the minor API breakage of hiding these methods, that makes > some other changes like moving to the Tool Provider API simpler. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
