Yes, but this doesn't solve the problem concerning JDK. If you=20
disassemble the code generated
from the classes provided by Ito you may notice that the inner class=20
doesn't have any protection
although it is protected. But I've made another test with private and=20
apparently it changes something also
concerning the modifier, so the problem should be more complicated.
