subclass from inner class

[Chris Cannam]

Is it possible to construct a Java class in Yeti which extends a Java
nested interface?

i.e. inheriting from the B in

public class A {
public static interface B { }
}

Naming Java inner-classes is with the plain class-name as javac makes
ist using $ as separater. In your example A$B.

So to extend interface B in yeti:

class Foo extends A$B
...
end;

Thanks... I had tried that, but it hadn't worked in my context and so
I didn't persist with it.

It turns out that Yeti won't find the contained class or interface if
the containing one is in a different package, unless you name the
package explicitly when inheriting.

That is, if I have in Java

package p;

public class A {
public static interface B { }
}

then in Yeti I can do

import p: A;
class C extends p.A$B end;

but not

import p: A;
class C extends A$B end;

("Unknown class: A$B")

even though

import p: A;
class C extends A end;

works as expected.

I have not tried it, but I think you have to :

import p:A$B;

class C extends A$B ...

Doh! Obvious as it seems in hindsight, I never thought of that. Thanks!
