[Bug java/21818] New: "Methods can't be overridden to be more private."

[Bug java/21818] New: "Methods can't be overridden to be more private."

[timo dot lindfors at iki dot fi]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile they attached testcase with gcj -C DoubleClickJList.java

Expected results:
1. DoubleClickJList.class is created and no errors are shown.

Actual results:
$ /home/lindi/installdir-2005-05-22/gcc/bin/gcj -C DoubleClickJList.java
DoubleClickJList.java:3: error: Methods can't be overridden to be more private.
Method 'DoubleClickJList.init()' is not private in class 'javax.swing.JList'.
        private void init() {
                        ^
1 error

Testcase:
import javax.swing.*;
public class DoubleClickJList extends JList {
        private void init() {
        }
}

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature (I have not read any official specs)
but jikes 1.22 and SUN's JVM 1.5.0 seem to compile the testcase just fine. This
means that some free software projects seem to depend on this behavior.

Version info:
gcj (GCC) 4.1.0 20050522 (experimental)
Fedora Core with linux 2.6.11-1.14_FC3

Confirmed, this is just namespace spilling in the library.

Nope, I am wrong, this is a front-end bug:
copper:~>cat t/JList.java
package t;
public class JList
{
  void init(){}
}
copper:~>cat DoubleClickJList.java 
import t.JList;
public class DoubleClickJList extends JList {
        private void init() {
        }
}
