Java Question How to hide methods from extended classes

[corwin42]

I create a class A for my object which extends class B.

In class A I can use @Hide to hide public methods. But all public methods of class B are shown in the IDE. How can I hide public methods from class B?

You will need to override the methods and add @Hide annotation.
With that said it is usually better to use the composite pattern instead of inheritance when wrapping an object (composite pattern is better in most cases compared to inheritance).

Hmm, I think I will use the override and @Hide method. Thanks.

corwin42, did you ever find a successful approach to hiding the other class?

put the other class in -ignore in SLC
