However, the wording is perhaps misleading to someone, like me, who is just going over the docs "at a glance". Could you reword it so that it is more clear? Can you emphasize the fact that protected = internal package access+unconditional inherited class access? Or if that is too wierd, then just at least emphasize that protected is like inherited+. jpwrunyan 0 0 2007-08-05T19:09:16
