Description Milan Kubec 2005-06-01 10:23:36 UTC 
[dev-200505311800, JDK 1.5.0_03]

User is able to add static declarations into InnerClass through Explorer UI
(context menu on InnerClass):
Static Initializer
Interface
AnnotationType
All those are illegal in InnerClass and therefore UI should not allow to add them.

Do we really want to fix this? In my opinion, it is correct to add them, even if
it causes error in source code. User may then decide to change the declaration
of inner class to static.

If we decide to fix it, we have to fix also customizers which shouldn't allow to
add static field and method. I can imagine many of other problematic usecases.

Opinions?

My opinion is, that this issue is not P3, but P4 or P5. No feature is broken, no
data corruption. Just minor ui issue.
Comment 3 Pavel Flaska 2005-08-29 09:46:18 UTC 
Lowering priority.
Comment 4 Jan Becicka 2007-09-19 17:26:38 UTC 
Wizard removed.
