Because inner classes *are* within the body of the top level class, perhaps? :)

Hi, This question is not directly related to kaffe, but ... The Java Language Specification, Third Edition says: |6.6.1 Determining Accessibility | Otherwise, if the member or constructor is declared private, then | access is permitted if and only if it occurs within the body of the top | level class (7.6) that encloses the declaration of the member or | constructor. | Why "the top level class" ? What if the private member is declared in an inner class? _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
