outer class keyword

[Josef Garvi]

What's the keyword for accessing an outer class?
(corresponding thing to "this").

Meaning: when in an anonymous inner class, I want to refer to the outer
class (not its fields), how do I write something like this?

SomeLibrary.someFunction(this.outer, param1, param2);

SomeLibrary.someFunction(this.outer, param1, param2);

SomeClass.someFunction( OuterClassName.this, param1, param2 );

I used the word OuterClassName, because I wasn't sure if you were
expecting a particular keyword spelled "outer".

Yes, oddly it starts back at the top of the inner/outer relationship
by having you specify the classname instead of providing some type of
relative syntax like I believe you were looking. That means that if
the outer class is inner to another class you migyht have something
like package.SolarSystem.Planet.this to get something inner to Planet
to the containing object. Of course, you probably ought not to nest inner
classes, but it IS possible.
