Hi all.

I need to parse the content of the XML file exported by Eclipse Metrics plugin 1.3.8. I would like to understanding the syntax/semantics of the value of the attribute name at Value tag in scenarios when I have nested types. Some examples below...

<Value name="IteratorView.anonymous#~QString;[#valueChanged"
<Value name="InlineSchemaValidator.anonymous#~getPrefixes~QString;[!2#next"
<Value name="InlineSchemaValidator.anonymous#~getPrefixes~QString;[#next"
<Value name="SecuritySupport.anonymous#~getContextClassLoader["

What are the meaning of '#', '~', '[', '!', etc? Inspecting the source code of this classes it seems that they point to the location of the nested type at the java source file. But, is there any documentation that describe in more details how these characters are used at the generated XML file?

Thanks in advance,
Glauber Ferreira
