Description misterm 2010-03-09 14:33:30 UTC 
The new hint in Class Structure -> Protected member in final class' description is:

Reports any instances of members being declared protected in classes that are declared final. Such members may be declared private or package-visible instead.

However, this reasoning is broken if we are talking about an overridden method that is declared protected in the superclass. In the final subclass, you can either keep it protected or make it public.

Therefore, the hint is useless for these scenarios and shouldn't been shown for them.
