http://www.kaffe.org/~stuart/japi/jcompat.txt contains some notes I made 
on exactly what kinds of changes are binary compatible. These are the 
criteria that japitools use to determine what errors to list.

I just noticed that this page is slightly incomplete: "Less access -> 
more access", which is the criterion that applies here, is only listed 
under "Classes", and not under "methods", "fields", "constructors" or 
"interfaces". In fact, of course, it applies to all of them.
