Description kely_garcia 2007-05-09 20:50:26 UTC 
Build ID: 200609161800 (Netbeans 6.0 M3)

Steps to reproduce: apply Push Down Field refactoring to A.f on the following 
program:

public class A {
  int f;
}
class B extends A {
  int g = f;
}

PushDownField refactoring produces the uncompilable code below:
public class A {

}
class B extends A {
  int g = f;

    int f;
}

Note: The error message is "illegal forward reference"

P5 imo. It is rare case and easy fixable by user.
Comment 2 David Strupl 2009-03-31 15:55:58 UTC 
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
