> In ClassIntrospector.discoverAccessibleMethods, the assumption is made, that only public classes can have accessible methods. This is plainly wrong: For example, a private object might be implementing an interface.
> Freemarker should detect public gettters, and treat them as accessible. At the very least, it should inform the user about the problem. A message like
>   "Key <propertyName> was not found on an instance of ..."
> should be replaced by
>   "Key <propertyName> was not found on an instance of ..."
>   "A possible reason is,that the class must be public."
> Thanks,
> Jochen
