This is using a sledgehammer to drive in a nail, but you can use java.lang.reflect.Method.setAccessible (http://java.sun.com/javase/7/ docs/api/java/lang/reflect/AccessibleObject.html#setAccessible %28boolean%29) to make an otherwise protected method available for public access. It's a sledgehammer in the sense that it gives *everyone* public access.
