All compilers from JDK1.1 thru JDK1.1.2F fail to find an inner class, declared
within a method of another inner class.
In example "Test" below, JDK reports the following compile-time error:


Test.java:5: Class Test. 1$B not found in type declaration.
B b;
^
1 error


It seems the reason of the failure is that compiler transforms the name of
class B into "Test$1$B" rather than into "Test$A$1$B" as prescribed by the
"Inner Classes in Java 1.1" specification.


--------------------Test.java----------------------
public class Test {
class A {
void m() {
class B {}
B b;
}
}
}
---------------------------------------------------------
