Regard to visibility

Question

Hi,
Just got bit of an issue with regard to visibility: I am reading the JAVA 2 exam cram book for JSP and it states thtat:
'Protected Visibility - A variable or method declared protected can be used only by classes in the same package or in a derived class in the same or different package'.
Well I have just installed version 1.5 of java and have been just playing around with these visibility issues. I am not sure if the last part of the above defenition still holds 'or in a derived class in the same or different package'. As I did an example of this and it does not hold:
Code Below:
// >>>> This is the derived class
package AccessCheck;
import Programmer.Test;
public class Check extends Test
protected void print1()
System.out.println("First program from many 66");
// >>>>>Main class
public class Test
public static void main(String args[])
Check ch = new Check();
ch.print1();
Exception given is:>
java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
     The method print1() from the type Check is not visible
     at Programmer.Test.main(Test.java:17)
Exception in thread "main"
Any help would be great
cheers

Thanks for Reply really appriciate it:
I tried this
package AccessCheck;
public class Check
protected void print1()
System.out.println("First program from many 66");
package Programmer;
import AccessCheck.*;
public class Test extends Check
public static void main(String args[])
One on = new One();
Test ts = new Test();
Employee em = new Employee();
Two tw = new Two();
Three tr = new Three();
Check ch = new Check();
ch.print1();
but I get the same error......
am I still not deriving it correctly ????
any chance of just giving me a quick example ... just using pseudo code..
Cheers
