problem in compile in inner class

["thomas@lp" <th...@linkpeople.com>]

i created my project with ant but exception in compile with inner class
here is the code sample:

public class OuterClass{
    // ........
    class InnerClass1 {
        private Something privateMethod1( Object obj){
                 // do something...
            }
    }
    class InnerClass2 {
        // do something...
         public void Method2(){
            Something sth = privateMethod1(obj);
        }
    }
}

when i use ant to build the project, it throws
OuterClass.InnerClass1  Something  privateMethod1( Object obj) Method No
Found.

but i can build successfully when change privateMethod1 from private to
protected.
