According to "8.8.9 Default Constructor" in The Java Language Specification,
if the class is declared private, then the default constructor is
implicitly given the access modifier private.
So IllegalAccessException should be thrown.
The next test case will illustrate this problem more clearly.
$ cat A.java
public class A {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
B.getPrivateClass().newInstance();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
$ cat B.java
public class B {
private static class PrivateClass {}
public static Class getPrivateClass() { return PrivateClass.class; }
}
In this case, Sun's JDK throws IllegalAccessException as expected.
But Kaffe does not.
