eclipse internal compiler bug

[samantha clarkson]

Hello,

I think there is a bug in the eclipse internal compiler,
consider :

public class Car extends Vehicle {
	
}

public class Vehicle {

	public int publicVehiclefield;
	protected int protectedVehiclefield;
	private int privateVehiclefield;
	
	public void publicVehicleMethod() {}
	protected void protectedVehicleMethod() {}
	private void privateVehicleMethod() {}
	
}

public class TestAll {

	
	public void testInheritence() {
		
		Vehicle vehicle = new Vehicle();
		Car car = new Car();
		
		System.out.println(car.publicVehiclefield);
		System.out.println(car.protectedVehiclefield);
		System.out.println(car.privateVehicleField);
		
		
		car.publicVehicleMethod();
		car.protectedVehicleMethod();
		car.privateVehicleMethod();
		car.inexistantMethod();
		
		
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		TestAll t = new TestAll();
		t.testInheritence();
	}
	
}

Under eclipse helios i got this

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: 
	privateVehicleField cannot be resolved or is not a field
	The method privateVehicleMethod() from the type Vehicle is not visible
	The method inexistantMethod() is undefined for the type Car

	at TestAll.testInheritence(TestAll.java:15)
	at TestAll.main(TestAll.java:28)

normally the method privateVehicleMethod() should be considered undefined too like the inexistent one

under cmd windows javac 1.6

TestAll.java:15: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable privateVehicleField
location: class Car
                System.out.println(car.privateVehicleField);
                                      ^
TestAll.java:20: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method privateVehicleMethod()
location: class Car
                car.privateVehicleMethod();
                   ^
TestAll.java:21: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method inexistantMethod()
location: class Car
                car.inexistantMethod();
                   ^
3 errors

javac compile clean i guess?!
what do you think?

That javac output is not "clean".

may be the output is not "clean" but it compiles correctly
