[Jython-dev] Re: [Bug #127200] Incorrect code for method returning inner class instance.

[<bc...@wo...>]

[In a bug report we got:]

>For example.  If jython class Log inherits javax.swing.text.PlainDocument
>we get this code:

>public javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument$AbstractElement 
>createDefaultRoot() {
>        return super.createDefaultRoot();

where the '$' in the inner class name confuses the java compiler in
JDK1.3. Does anyone know how we can get a more compiler friendly class
name (When replacing the '$' with a '.', even JDK1.3 is happy). Keep in
mind that a $ is valid (if somewhat unlikely) character in class names.

I have made a patch which will retrieve the class as a resource and
parse the bytecode to find the "InnerClasses" attributes. From the
"InnerClasses" that correspond to this_class, I can get the outerclass
and the innerclass names.

I just hoped there were a better way. Does any know if there is?
