Hi Class -

If any of you are still working on part2a of the final exam, there was a
bug introduced in the Class Form checker a while ago that is now fixed.
 As we had discussed in class quite a while ago, a change was made to
include a check of the target class as a valid class and not to include
what was originally a check of the "declaring type" of the method being
checked. This solution had been proposed to fix a problem with flagging
inherited method calls as violations. Well it introduced a bug where
subclass target objects were now flagged as violations. The correct
implementation is to check both. This fix has been made and is
available in the versions of both the:
LoDChecker Eclipse Plugin
command-line_aplib

to be used with the final.

Some of the students had pointed out this bug. Sorry this has been
fixed so late. Professor Lieberherr will be notified and I am sure this
will not affect your grades.

Paul
