Description craigday 2009-08-21 09:44:36 UTC 
Netbeans incorrectly reports "attribute has private access in SomeClass" in the following code. It is a private 
attribute but there is nothing illegal about referencing it in this manner:

public class SomeClass {

    private String attribute;

    public <T extends SomeClass> void doSomething(T target) {
        target.attribute = "theValue";
    }
}
