javac Vs jikes

[Avinash Bhosale]

Hi,
I am facing some problems with the jikes compiler.
Let me put the scenario:
Child extends Parent which is abstract class.
Child class has one inner class called Inner.

public class Child extends Parent
{
   public void someMethod()
   {
      System.out.println("In someMethod of child");
   }
 
   public void someMethod2()
   {
      //Inner inner = new Inner();
      //inner.someMethod3();
   }
 
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
      Child child = new Child();
      child.someMethod();
      child.someMethod2();
   }
   public class Inner implements Runnable
   {
      public void run()
      {
         Child.super.someMethod();
      }
   }
}

Parent extends GrandParent.

public abstract class Parent extends GrandParent
{
   public abstract void someMethod2();
}

someMethod of GrandParent is overridden in Child.

public class GrandParent
{
   public void someMethod()
   {
      System.out.println("SomeMethod of Grand Parent");
   }
}

In one of the methods of inner class. Child.super.someMethod(); is called.
When I compile through the normal java compiler it creates Parent.class, GrandParent.class, Child.class, Child$Inner.class and Child$1.class.
When Child.super.someMethod() is called from Inner class method then GrandParent�s someMethod gets executed.
And if I compile through jikes compiler Child$1.class is not created.
When Child.super.someMethod() is called from Inner class method then Child�s someMethod gets executed.
I don�t know who is correct jikes or javac.

Avinash -
Please change your screen name to conform to JavaRanch's naming policy.
I also took the liberty of modifying your code to include indents and use CODE tags for readability. Please let me know if I'm marked it up incorrectly.

After I corrected your code so I could compile it using javac, I got Child.class and Child$Inner.class. I get no Child$1.class.

My output was:
In someMethod of child
SomeMethod of Grand Parent

by using Jikes, I got Child.class and Child$Inner.class.

My output was:
In someMethod of child
SomeMethod of Grand Parent

Thanks Michael for the indentation.
I have changed my screen name also.
Sorry While pasting the code I have done a mistake.
In the method someMethod2() of Child class i have commented out the code. I was just experimenting with the code and by commenting out this code the annonymous inner class is not created if I compile through javac.
public void someMethod2()
{
Inner inner = new Inner();
inner.run();
}
