Unable to instantiate a local class within a closure literal

[Mark Mahieu]

Attempting to declare and then instantiate a local class within a  
closure literal fails to compile if that closure literal is not in a  
static method or block:


class NotEnclosingClass {
	
	{=> void} block1 = {=> class Local {}; new Local(); };
	
	static {
		// fine here
		{=> void} block2 = {=> class Local {}; new Local(); };
	}
}


NotEnclosingClass.java:3: not an enclosing class: <anonymous  
NotEnclosingClass$1>
         {=> void} block1 = {=> class Local {}; new Local(); };
                                                ^
1 error
