It is not possible to write a receiver parameter for a method of an 
anonymous class.
I have filed two bugs about this:

Here is a specification/language bug to change JLS 8.4.1:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8195645

Here is a tools/javac bug to make javac conform to the changed JLS:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8195646
