 Inner classes (classes inside classes) have very limited support. 
 
-When an inner class translator is needed, eg A$B where B is an inner class of A, the translator searches for a translator for class A/B where A is used as a *directory*. If it is found, then that translator B is used.

+Note that that translated class will be in package p.a, rather than inside class p.A. Therefore this mechanism, has limited use in practice.
 
 Otherwise, no support is available. This includes anonymous inner classes. You can not import, call or use inner classes. This is for many reasons but the brief summary:

 * For the non-static inner class: pass the enclosing class as argument to the child class constructor. You may have to use more tricks to get around cyclic dependencies.
 
-===== Exception to inner classes
-There are a very few exceptions to the 'no inner classes' rule. If some particular inner classes, particularly constants, are used in very specific translators, these translators may opt to attempt to recognise these and process them separately. One example is the JsonDeserializer (jackson-t package) that recognises use of "com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonDeserializer.None". Check the documentation of the translators for details.
