FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0-ea"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.6.0-ea-b32)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-ea-b32, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The new isPrinting() method is final and so can not be overwritten. Our application uses a third party graph extension which has its own printing support and it already includes a isPrinting() method to indicate that the component is printing. Today I tested the 1.6 release with our application and I get the error message that isPrinting() overwrites a final method.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
The method isPrinting() can not be overwritten for a custom component.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
isPrinting() should not be final.
ACTUAL -
Can not test our application with 1.6 without making code changes.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
No workaround available.
