MethodUtils.getAccessibleMethod(Method): wrong accessibility check of the class

           Summary: MethodUtils.getAccessibleMethod(Method): wrong
                    accessibility check of the class
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Bean Utilities
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If you have a nested class which is not public, you can access methods of this
class from the surrounding class:
class A
{
  class B { 
    String getHello() { return "hello"; } 
  }

  public A() { 
    System.out.println((new B()).getHello()); 
  }
}
Using the class PropertyUtils, you can not get the 'hello' bean property,
because in MethodUtils.getAccessibleMethod(Method) the modifiers of B are
checked for 'public' accessibility.
The test should (not tested...) also fail for classes with package scope.
