Access Protected Members

Yes, you can.

Here is an example:

class Protected{
    protected int num=5;
    protected void protectedMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hello");
    }
}
class AccessProtectedMembers extends Protected{
    public static void main(String[]args){
        AccessProtectedMembers a = new AccessProtectedMembers();
       System.out.println(a.num);
       a.protectedMethod();
    }
}
