I have a ("protected" and final) class X in some package and a (public and final) class Y in the same package. The problem is a faulty hint in class Y when defining a protected field using class X. Though, it seems logical to me, a final class can't be extended: the protected field never gets accessed by any class outside the current package. Hence, I am >not exporting< a non-public type. The problem is not severe, it just bothers me when programming. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7 (Build 200906241340) Java: 1.6.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.3-b02 System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; nl_NL (nb) Userdir: C:\Users\[my username]\.netbeans\6.7 // file X.java ... final class X { ... // file Y.java ... public final class Y { ... protected final X someVar; // An error hint: "Exporting non-public type through public API." is displayed. ... Thank you.
