The following code won't compile, because the innerclass accesses a private method.



import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;


class Outer
{
    private String s1;

    private void extraOuter() {
        System.out.println("I am the method causing the problem");
    }

    public Outer() {
        s1 = "I am a private instance variable of Outer, I don't cause problems";
    }

    public Runnable giveRunnable() {
        return new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                System.out.println(s1);
                extraOuter();
            }
        };
    }
}


public class TestInner
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Outer t = new Outer();
        t.giveRunnable().run();
    }
}
