Sure. You just can't change a final method or field. Michael Morris
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction. - Ernst F. Schumacher
Unless of course the method is private final. (Or package private, i.e., not public, protected, or private, and the superclass and subclass are in different packages.) Then it can't be called by the subclass. Of course, that's true for any method, final or not.
