deferred initialization of a final field doesn't work when the class with
the

final field has an inner class.


the code below won't compile, but if the inner class is commented out
then the class will compile



/* start of code */

class final1
{
   public final1()
   {
      x = 2;
   }
   public class ic
   {
      public ic(){}
   }
   final int x;
}


this compiles with the jikes compiler but fails with:
visual-cafe's compiler
and JDK1.1.6/1.1.7 on NT

Appears to be fixed in 1.2beta4J
