Just out of curiousity, how does one reference an anonymous inner
class from JSNI (or do you mean Local classes?) Since it has no
concrete type name, the only thing I can think of referencing it via a
superclass/superinterface type, but surely you can't be talking about
deprecating that.
e.g.
public native void someJSNI(ClickListener foo) /*-{
f...@x.y.clicklistener::onClick()();
}-*/;
Does this then count as an anonymous inner class reference?
someJSNI(new ClickListener() { public void onClick() { } });
