the following program prints

 Error at err3 :: Z.this.m = 1 :: expected value 100

According to the inner class documentation, the
qualified this syntax should cause references to
enclosing instances. (Anyway, why have another
way to refer to the super instance?)

//Chk.java:
class Chk {

  Chk(){}

  public static boolean ErrorFlag = false;

  public static boolean chkIntVal(String errStr, String varName, int val, int expectedVal)
    {
       if(val!=expectedVal) {
         ErrorFlag=true;
         System.out.println("Error at " + errStr + " :: " + varName + " = " + val +" :: expected value " + expectedVal);
         return false;
       }
       else
         return true;
    }
}

//X.java:
class X
{
    int m=101;

  
   class Z
   {
    int m=100;

    void test()
    {
     new Z()
     {
      int m=200;
      void test()
      {
       Chk.chkIntVal("err1","m",m,200);
       super.m = 1;
       Chk.chkIntVal("err2","super.m",super.m,1);
       Chk.chkIntVal("err3","Z.this.m",Z.this.m,100);
       Chk.chkIntVal("err4","X.this.m",X.this.m,101);
      }
     }.test();
    }
 }
void xtest()
{
new Z().test() ;
}
   
   public static void main(String[] s)
   {
     new X().xtest();
   }
 
 }
