Re: Access flags for inner classes

[Eric Blake <ebb9 at email dot byu dot edu>]

Inner classes have their attributes listed in two sections.  At the 
header of the .class file, the JVMS requires that all classes be public 
or unmarked (default).  The InnerClasses attribute is where the real 
listing is made.  I'm not sure if japitools is reporting the difference 
between the two locations correctly.

Here is what SHOULD be happening:

class declared    .class header    InnerClasses
public              public            public
protected           public            protected
<default>           <default>         <default>
private             <default>         private
