Please do not use TAB characters in Usenet posts.

You're in the same package.
}
}
A class can access protected members of another class in its same package.
However, when I try to use clone() I get an error:
===
package testit;
public class Super
{
protected void message()
{
System.out.println( "Super.message()" );
}
}
===
package testit;
public class Sub extends Super
{
public void tell()
{
message();
System.out.println( "Sub.tell()" );
}
}
===
package testit;
public class Checkit
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Sub sub = new Sub();
sub.tell();
sub.message();
Sub s2 = (Sub) sub.clone(); // line 9
}
}
===
Compilation of Checkit:
projects/testit/src/testit/Checkit.java:9: clone() has protected access in
java.lang.Object
Sub s2 = (Sub) sub.clone();
