Create the classes: package p2; public class C { protected long getF(){ return 0; } public long m(){ return getF(); } } package p2; public class A extends C { public long f=10; public long test(){ return m(); } } apply the pull up field refactoring to B.f package p2; public class C { protected long getF(){ return 0; } public long m(){ return getF(); } } package p2; public class A extends C { private long f=10; public long test(){ return m(); } public long getF() { return f; } public void setf(long f) { this.f = f; } } The transformation changes behavior. After the transformation the m method returns 10 instead of 0
