[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-3632) [drlvm][kernel] Drlvm does not allow to call public constructor of 'private static' inner class from within another class

["Alexey Varlamov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3632?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12488354 ] 

Alexey Varlamov commented on HARMONY-3632:
------------------------------------------

Reading the Java Language Specification v3, para 6.6.1: 
"if the member or constructor is declared private, then access is
permitted if and only if it occurs within the body of the top level class (§7.6)
that encloses the declaration of the member or constructor."

Which means the DRLVM behaves correctly and other VMs/JREs are not.
J9 is on the same side with RI, btw.

Another prove is, try adding smth like "new A.B();" into Hello.main() and compile. javac aborts compilation saying:
Hello.java:9: A.B has private access in A
        System.out.println(new A.B());
                                ^

I suggest to file a bug against Joda.
