java - 与外部类同名的内部类？

Question

约束:

I have a maven source code generator that I wrote that is creating POJO classes from some data files that have nested namespaces. I want each namespace to be nested as an inner class. In some cases out of my control I end up with inner classes that are the same simple name as the outermost class.

All the classes must be public scope as this is for a type safe wrapper over something like a properties file, but hierarchical..

I can't change the names otherwise I am changing the names meaning and the namespace that is enclosing data.

鉴于我有以下代码:

public class A
{
    public class B
    {
        public class A
        {

        }
    }
}

内部类应该附加外部类的名称以形成一个唯一的命名空间，例如A$B$A.class，我还没有找到不编译的正当理由。

有没有什么技巧可以让它编译？

没有。 From the JLS section on class declarations:

It is a compile-time error if a class has the same simple name as any of its enclosing classes or interfaces.

注意:我第一次通过寻找明确的规则时不知何故设法错过了这一点。如果你想要我到达这里的曲折方式，请检查编辑历史。
