Why subclass in another package cannot access a protected method?

by

Protected methods can only be accessible through inheritance in subclasses outside the package. And hence the second approach tryMeProtected(); works.

The code below wont compile because we are not calling the inherited version of protected method. 

 Class1 c = new Class1();
 c.tryMeProtected(); // ERROR: tryMeProtected() has protected access in Class1
