MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a new project, and select Console Application for the project type.
  2. Open the source file (Class1.java).
  3. In the Class Outline pane, expand Class1 and select the main(String[]) method.
  4. Right-click the main method and select Copy.
  5. Right-click the main method again and select "paste." This will add a second declaration of the main() method. Note that the Task List shows an error message saying "Redeclaration of member 'main'".
  6. In the Class Outline pane, expand the "Inherited members" list, right- click the "clone()" method, and select "Override Method".
Visual J++ 6.0 stops at this point with the above error.
