Here is what's right.
Access permissions are per class, not per object.
class C {
private int instanceField;
private void instanceMethod() {
}
public static void m() {
C o = new C();
o.instanceField++; // ok
o.instanceMethod(); // ok
}
}Any static method of a class can access private instance members (e.g., fields, methods) of any instance of that same class.
