import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Main
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setSize(400,200);
          JPanel panel = new JPanel()
               public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
                    super.paintComponent(g);
                    g.fillOval(0,0,40,40);
          frame.add(panel);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}wrote it myself

Answer 1

Surely the access specifier isn't silently
changed from private to package.
Unless you can come up with very strong evidence,I
am quire sure the presence of inner classes doesnot
affect the accessibility of a class' fields. Noteven
under the hood.This statement is correct.
No modifier is changed.
A package protected accessor (with the name
access$nnn - where nnn is some number) is generated.
This provides read-only access for the package, and
as mentioned, if such data is critical, sealed
packages and security manager should be used.
If you find yourself doing this:
if
(foo.access$000(outerClassInstance).equals(GREEN))
code]
Then thats your own damn problem.And all these people in these articles are idiots who should ve contacted Schneider
