TypeElement.getQualifiedName should specify behavior on nested classes

XMLWordPrintable

      http://download.java.net/jdk6/docs/api/javax/lang/model/element/TypeElement.html#getQualifiedName()

      currently says

      "Returns the fully qualified name of this type element. More precisely, it returns the canonical name. [...]"

      No mention is made of nested classes here. If you are used to working with java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(String), you would expect in this program

      package p;
      public class Outer {
          public class Inner {}
      }

      for the nested class to be named "p.Outer$Inner". Instead, apt reports "p.Outer.Inner". This is perhaps acceptable (it is the source-code form of the name) if that is what you were expecting.

      At least "p.Outer.Inner" is the behavior of JDK 5's TypeDeclaration, not yet tried in Mustang.
