[GR-Jug] inheritance ?

[Carlus Henry]

What are you doing in particular?

If Class A is extending Class B, there are many different ways to share methods and relationships.  Typically, here are some good rules to follow:

abstract - if Class A is requiring Class B to implement a method, then make that method abstract
public / private - if Class A has a method that is public / private then that method is available to Class B as well
protected - if Class A method is protected, then only the subclasses of this object can override it.

I hope this helps, if not please let us know what it is exactly you are looking for.

Thanks
Carlus

OK, here is a stumper, at least for me.

Do the modifiers assigned to features in a parent class 
dictate what features will be inherited by its children?
If so, what are the rules, and where is a good document about it?

Modifiers:
public,default,protected,default
final,abstract,static,native,transient,
synchronized,volatile

features:
class, method, or variable
