Inner classes for unnamed objects in generated Java library

Currently we generate top-level classes like this: http://javadoc.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/apis/discovery/com/google/api/services/discovery/model/RestDescriptionAuthOauth2Scopes.html I am not happy with two aspects of this:

1. Class name is too long. It should be simpler.
2. It clutters up the top-level class names list: http://javadoc.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/apis/discovery/com/google/api/services/discovery/model/package-frame.html Instead, if we generated these as inner classes, it would solve both of these issues. So it should instead generate something like this:

public class RestDescription {
public static class Auth {
public static class Oauth2 {
public static class Scopes {
...

Note that this way I can declare the import like this:

import com.google.api.services.discovery.model.RestDescription.Auth.Oauth2.Scopes;

and then refer to it simply as Scopes in my code.
