Security management can be turned of rather easily, and then clients can use the same package name to gain access.
Well... Users can do Reflection to access private members as well...
uhm...yes. I'm a bit hazy on the details of package security. Isn't jar signing something that was added at some point much later than the original security stuff? I seem to recall it didn't work often, hence was not safe to assume. Hmm.
And in my case, I hardly ever have 'protected' in COP scenarios, SoC quickly falls apart with inheritence.
yep. I tend to overuse 'protected', then hunt for usages (esp.
overriding methods) every once in a while.
Just to remind you, the "modifier hierarchy" is; public -> protected -> package -> private
but I can't s/ package / private / as 'package' is not a keyword! ;)
