I just double checked that if I compiles the subclass when the parent
class has not this method, then recompiles a new parent, the correct
method in subclass still called, so it seems fine. Probably there are
some other cases, which will be checked during ccc review.
Could it break a binary compatibility if someone does not follow the
javadoc specification and has in his program getUI() method which
return type is not subclass of the ComponentUI?
Thanks,
Alexandr.
