That's the usual reason why a public or protected inherited field
might not show up in the subclass, yes...
Easy to verify in a black box way by writing a test class like this
and trying to compile it against the JDK, and watching what error
message you get:
public class AccessibleParentFieldTest extends
javax.swing.JTree.AccessibleJTree.AccessibleJTreeNode {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(super.accessibleParent);
}
}
If the "shadowed by a private field" theory is right, this should be a
compile error saying that super.accessibleParent isn't accessible.
