The following class C is in error, since it
inherits an inaccessible abstract method from
B; however, javac considers B's f() to be
implemented by the concrete method in C,
resulting in an AbstractMethodError at
run-time when f() is invoked via B.

public abstract class B {
    private abstract void f (); // now OK?

    static class C extends B {
        void f () { // implements private abstract method
        }
    }

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        B b = new C();
        b.f();
    }
}

class C extends B {
    void f () { // oops: does NOT implement B.f!
    }
}
