Getting an enclosing class's this reference

Question

I'm creating a custom button and notifying registered ActionListeners whenever the button is clicked. In my code below, I want to create a new ActionEvent with the event source as "Button" instead of Button$Listener.
From the Listener class, how can I obtain the parent's this reference? I've tried using Button.this, but when the listener calls getClass().getName() on the event, it says its an ActionEvent, not a Button. That also confuses me.
public class Button extends JPanel
    private void notifyListeners(ActionEvent e)
        /* I could do it this way, but I'd rather not
        e.setSource(this);
        for ( ActionListener l : listeners )
            l.actionPerformed(e);
    private class Listener implements MouseListener
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
            notifyListeners(new ActionEvent(this,
                                            ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED,
                                            "clicked"));
}

Answer 1

I've tried using Button.this, but when the listener
calls getClass().getName() on the event, it says its
an ActionEvent, not a Button. Huh?
public class Outer {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Outer outer = new Outer();
    Outer.Inner inner = outer.new Inner();
    inner.foo();
  class Inner {
    void foo() {
      System.out.println(Outer.this.getClass().getName());
prints "Outer"
