Is it possible to hide or lower access to Inherited Methods in Java?

Question

I have a class structure where I would like some methods in a base class to be accessible from classes derived directly from the base class, but not classes derived from der

Answer 1

If you did this then DerivedOne would not be a Base, from the DerivedTwo's point of view. Instead what you want is a wrapper class

//Uses myMethod but keeps it hidden
public class HiddenBase {
    private final Base base = new Base();
    private void myMethod();
    public void otherMethod() {base.otherMethod();}
}

You can't access protected methods of the base though this way...
