FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows NT Version 4.0


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a public class extends a package-private one,
"javadoc -private" will include the methods and fields of the base
class into the derived class, instead of merely referencing
to them as inherited.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run javadoc -private on the example classes below
(Foo.java, Bar.java).
Look at Bar.html.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected result: In Bar class, the method doit() should be listed
under "Methods inherited from class Foo" only.
Actual result: Method doit() is listed under "Method
Summary" and under "Method Detail". Similar for field x:

Class Bar
  Field Detail
    protected int x
  Method Detail
    void another()
    public void doit()

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
/* non-public */ class Foo
{
protected int x;

public void doit()
{
++x;
}
}

public class Bar extends Foo
{
void another()
{
}
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Make the base class public.
