FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

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

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Class A defines a boolean property and a read method.
If the read method for the boolean property is overwritten in a subclass, the PropertyDescriptor property for the subclass contains the readMethod defined in the superclasss.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run attached Testcase

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Introspecting class: class TestPropertyDescriptor$Test2ExtendsTest

The read method for property "bool" is from class TestPropertyDescriptor$Test2ExtendsTest

The write method for property "bool" is from class TestPropertyDescriptor$Test2ExtendsTest
ACTUAL -
Introspecting class: class TestPropertyDescriptor$Test2ExtendsTest

The read method for property "bool" is from class TestPropertyDescriptor$Test

The write method for property "bool" is from class TestPropertyDescriptor$Test2ExtendsTest

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
