Static Inner classes Vs Non-Static Inner Classes

[stephanenicolas]

Hi @chibash ,

playing with Javassist, I realize that Javassist actually works pretty fine with static inner classes. I guess that when you mention (section 4.7 of the tutorial) :

Inner classes or anonymous classes are not supported.

you are talking about non static inner classes, as the byte code is more difficult to play with (due to passing a reference to Outer.this).

If so, would you mind to be more precise in the docs ?

Thx in advance,
Stéphane

The compiler included in Javassist does not support inner classes.
So if you pass the source code containing an inner-class declaration, the compiler throws an compilation error.

If you already have a class file of inner class, Javassist can handle it.

Thx @chiba, this is more precise than the docs. Maybe you could update them.
