Missing qualification for inner classes in generic parameters of anonymous classes

[fbaro]

I'm creating a class, called Outer, and an inner class inside it, called Inner.

I'm then using the inner class as a generic parameter of an anonymous class in another class in the same package.

The result is that in the generic parameter the inner class is written unqualified and not imported, resulting in a compile error.

Here is an example code

        JCodeModel cm = new JCodeModel();

        JDefinedClass outerClass = cm._class("test.Outer");
        JDefinedClass innerClass = outerClass._class("Inner");

        JDefinedClass testClass = cm._class("test.Test");
        JAnonymousClass anonymousClass = cm.anonymousClass(cm.ref(List.class).narrow(innerClass));
        testClass.field(0, cm.ref(List.class).narrow(innerClass), "field", JExpr._new(anonymousClass));

And this is the result

package test;

import java.util.List;

public class Test {
    List<Outer.Inner> field = new List<Inner>() {
    }
    ;
}

The declaration List<Outer.Inner> field is correct, but the instantiation new List<Inner> is not.

I think I have a suggestion for a fix.
Inside JAnonymousClass the generate method should be

@Override
  public void generate (final IJFormatter f)
  {
    m_aBaseClass.generate(f);
  }

instead of f.type (m_aBaseClass);

Thanks for the suggestion - will check later. Working on sthg else atm.
