Why is super.super.method(); not allowed in Java?
If you have a class that derives from a class that derives from another is there anyway for me to call the super.super method and not the overridden one?
class A{
    public void some(){}
} 
class B extends A{
    public void some(){}
} 
class C extends B{
    public void some(){I want to call A.some();}
} 
                See: Why is super.super.method(); not allowed in Java?
@tgamblin is right but here is a workaround :
class A{
    public void some(){ sharedCode() }
    public final void someFromSuper(){ sharedCode() }
    private void sharedCode() { //code in A.some() }
} 
class B extends A{
    @Override
    public void some(){}
} 
class C extends B{
    @Override
    public void some(){
     //I want to call A.some();
     someFromSuper();
    }
} 
Create a second version of your method in A that is final (not overridable) and call it from C.
This is actually a poor design, but sometimes needed and used inside JDK itself.
