Re: Problem defining a class implementing an interface nested in a class

["Tom Briscoe" <tbriscoe at nrao dot edu>]

Moritz,

Try naming the class (in Kawa) as
javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument$Content.  The names of nested
subclasses/interfaces are separated from the outer class by a $ when the
class is compiled.  This is also required when you instantiate, for
instance, java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D.Double (in Java) as
java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D$Double in Kawa.

Cheers,

Tom Briscoe
