Just a couple of additional thoughts: - the 'super' in 'super.doSomething()' is not required - you may wish to add a brief note on resolution of protected static members - code within sub-types in the inheritance graph (and in different packages) can dereference/access protected static members, and they may do so by the usual static access: super-type-name.member-name. Thanks again for the clarity, Jondean. Thanks for the clarity Stevi. Just a couple of additional thoughts:
