Weird Eclipse behavior when tring overrides a method

Question

I have two classes: Dogand Beaglethat extend Dog.

class Dog {
    protected String bark() {return "woof "; }
}
class Beagle extends Dog {
    private String bark() { return "arf "; }
}
class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Dog[] dogs = {new Dog(), new Beagle()};
        for(Dog d : dogs)
            System.out.print(d.bark());
    }
}

When I use some other editor, and not Eclipse, it does not even compile this code. I get this error:

An attempt to assign weaker permissions to the bark () method in the Beagle class.

You can also see this behavior here .

If I use Eclipse Indigo (Version: 3.7.2), this code compiles fine, and the output: woof woof.

Please let me know which one is correct and why?

Thanks in advance!
