Description kely_garcia 2007-06-29 01:26:16 UTC 
Build ID: Netbeans 6.0 M9 (070502)

Steps To Reproduce:
Pull up method m on the following: 

public class A {
    private Object theField;
    class B extends C {
        public void m(){
            new A().theField=null;
        }
        void mPrime(){
            m();
        }
    }
}
class C {
    private Object theField;
}

Yields the following refactored code:

public class A {
    private Object theField;
    class B extends C {
        public void m(){
            new A().theField=null;
        }
        void mPrime(){
            m();
        }
    }
}
class C {
    private Object theField;
}

The compilation error is: "theField has private access in A"

This is the same problem as 111563. Pullup does not handle references inside bodies at all. Current implementation is
simply not smart enough.
