try compile and run the following code.
javac 1.5_01 signals an error in code.
eclipse 31M4 is happy to compile (with 1.4 scr/bin compliance)
but on running the code surprisingly MyFoo$Bar is not generated

----------------------------------
package com.foo;

public class OuterClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(OuterClass.class);
        System.out.println(MyFoo.class);
        System.out.println(MyFoo$Bar.class);
        System.out.println(MyFoo.Bar.class);
        System.out.println(MyFoo$Bar.class==MyFoo.Bar.class);
        System.out.println(new MyFoo$Bar());
        System.out.println(new MyFoo.Bar());
    }
    
    static class MyFoo {
        static class Bar {
            public String toString() {
                return "MyFoo.Bar instance";
            }
        }
    }
    
    static class MyFoo$Bar {
        public String toString() {
            return "MyFoo$Bar instance";
        }
    }

 }
