Overriding Protected Methods
<p>I'm new to Java and I have a very basic question.</p>

<p>I have 2 Parent Class under the same package. <code>Animal</code> Abstract Class and the <code>Machine</code> Class.</p>

<p>Now, the <code>Animal</code> Abstract Class has a protected method. I'm aware that protected methods are accessible if the classes are under the same package. </p>

<p>I can access that protected method in my <code>Machine</code> Class, and the question is.. Is it possible to override that protected method? Without extending the <code>Animal</code> Class.</p>
