    Description

      Compiler accepts the following code:

      class A<X> {
         class B { }

         B b = new B<>();
      }

      Moreover, error messages for the following code is misleading:

      class A<X> {
         class B { }

         B b = new A<>.B<>();
      }

      The above is rejected with:

      TestX.java:4: error: improperly formed type, type arguments given on a raw type
         B b = new A<>.B<>();
                        ^

      This should simply be a parser error.
