error

1. Create new java project and add simple java class ClassC:

package inner_to_outer;

public class ClassC {
	public class ClassD {
	}

	public class ClassE extends ClassD {

		private final ClassD classd;

		public ClassE(final ClassD outer){
			this.classd = outer;
		}
	}
}

2. Put caret into "public class Cla|ssE extends ClassD {" and from main menu select Refactor > Move Inner To Outer Level...

3. Leave default options (so, Class Name: "ClassE", Declare Field for the Current Outer Class: checked, Field Name: "outer") and press Refactor

>> Without any warning it generates incompilable code with error saying "an enclosing instance that contains ClassC.ClassD is required" (see attached img)
