Abstract
In an embodiment, a feature is an aspect of a class which represents information, data, behaviors, or capabilities encapsulated by the class. An accessing class may be given access to one or more specified features encapsulated by an accessed class, without gaining access to other features encapsulated by the accessed class. Accordingly, special access may be granted only to the behavior and data specifically designed for the accessing class, without allowing the accessing class access to all private data and behaviors of the accessed class, and without allowing all classes in a package access to the accessed class.
