classname$1.class

[NeilV]

Hello...

Could someone explain to me why after compiling my Java program I get some class files that look like:

classname$x.class (where x is a number)

I need these for the program to run, but I have no idea how or why they are created or what they do...
they are all pretty small (only 1K)

Thanks in advance

Neil

If you had a class named Aaa which had an inner class named Bbb then you would get two .class files for compiling Aaa.java :

Aaa.class
Aaa$Bbb.class


The Aaa$1.class or Aaa$2.class etc are inner anonymous classes.
