Approve Tutorial Bug

Question

Hi,
can you approve that this is a bug:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/innerclasses.html
public Iterator<Object> iterator() {
    private class StackIterator implements Iterator<Object> {...Local classes cannot have access modifiers thus this example is wrong.
Is it a known bug?

Answer 1

The compiler treats
those access modifiers
correctly though, so my guess is (as Kaj already
indicated) that one of
these tutorial authors got a bit slopppy ;-)Hmm, I tried it in NetBeans and I get a compiler error. After removing the access modifier it compiled successfully.
Test local class:
private class Test implements Comparator{
            public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
                return 42;
}Or what did you mean with "the compiler treats those access modifiers correctly though"?
