I've got a class that extends Container:
package foo;
import java.awt.Container;
class A extends Container {
B b = null;
}
When I compile:
trilby >> javac foo/A.java
foo/A.java:5: No constructor matching Container() found in class java.awt. Container.
class A extends Container {
^
1 error
Of course there is a Container():
// In Container.java:
Container() {
}
If I change Container's default constructor access modifier to protected:
// In Container.java:
protected Container() {
}
Then all is well:
trilby >> javac foo/A.java
trilby >>
What's the deal? Is protected not the default access modifier? I'm using
the BETA release on Solaris 2.4, BTW.
