This bug has been reported as closed and fixed against version JDK1.2fcs. See
bug id 4158650. The bug does indeed appear to be fixed on the Windows platform.
Unfortunately, the bug does not appear to be fixed on the SPARC platform
running Solaris 2.6 or an IBM Pentium II box running Red Hat Linux 6.1.

On Linux box used BlackDown compiler:
[gleichtm@linuxdev1 /tmp]$ java -version
java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build Linux_JDK_1.2.2_RC4, native threads, sunwjit)
[gleichtm@linuxdev1 /tmp]$ uname -a
Linux linuxdev1.i2image.com 2.2.12-32 #1 Mon Oct 25 19:43:07 EDT 1999 i586
unknown

and also on Linux box used Sun's compiler:
[gleichtm@linuxdev1 bin]$ ./java -version
java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build 1.2.2-L, green threads, nojit)
[gleichtm@linuxdev1 share]$ uname -a
Linux linuxdev1.i2image.com 2.2.12-32 #1 Mon Oct 25 19:43:07 EDT 1999 i586

This represents a show-stopper for us on these platforms. We hope that the
working code in the Windows version is QUICKLY ported to the UNIX boxes,
especially Solaris.

Below is example code with the resulting failure:

package innerClassProblem;

import innerClassProblem2.MyClass2;

public class MyClass1 extends MyClass2 {


  public MyClass1() {
    MyInnerClass1 theInnerClass1 = new MyInnerClass1();
    theInnerClass1.MyInnerClass2Method();
  }

  protected class MyInnerClass1 extends MyInnerClass2 {

    public void MyInnerClass2Method() {
      super.MyInnerClass2Method();
      System.out.println("Overridden inner class and overridden method: " +
                         MyInnerClass1.class);
    }
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyClass1 myClass1 = new MyClass1();
    myClass1.invokedStandalone = true;
  }
  private boolean invokedStandalone = false;
}

package innerClassProblem2;

import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;

public class MyClass2 {

  public MyClass2() {
  }

  protected class MyInnerClass2 extends WindowAdapter {

    public MyInnerClass2() {
    }

    public void MyInnerClass2Method() {
      System.out.println("Original inner class and original method: " +
                         MyInnerClass2.class);
    }
  }
}

[gleichtm@linuxdev1 /tmp]$ javac *.java

      super.MyInnerClass2Method();
                               ^

Under Window's the app. compiles and produces:

Original inner class and original method: class innerClassProblem2.MyClass2
$MyInnerClass2
Overridden inner class and overridden method: class innerClassProblem.MyClass1
$MyInnerClass1
