class A { private static String a() { return ""; } } class B { void b() { A.a(); } } In this example, the attempted call to A.a() produces an error because B doesn't have access to A's private members. However, when the programmer discovers that they want to make such a call, it would be helpful to have a quick fix/refactoring option which changes A.a's access specifier to public (or perhaps protected, if A and B are in the same package).
