Description Jiri Prox 2012-08-16 12:20:27 UTC 
Create subclass hint is provided also for inner non-static classes. Applying this hint will produce not compilable code.

Steps to reproduce:
1) have a class:
public class TestClass {
 
    class InnerClass {
    }

}

2) use hint to create subclass of InnerClass

->
import javaapplication97.TestClass.InnerClass;

public class InnerClassImpl extends InnerClass { //<< here is syntax error
    
}

I am not completely convinced it is a bug (why force the user to first make the class static just to be able to create a subclass - why the user cannot make it static after creating the subclass?). But if it is, I think it is quite low priority.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
