Synopsis: default constructors in inner classes

    I'm handling this

State-Changed-Why:
    I tried this program:
    public class z
    {
    public static class State
    {
       public final static State INITIAL = new State();
    }
    }
    
    This compiled fine.  When I look at the z.State
    class with jcf-dump, it also looks ok.
    
    Does this fail for you?  If not, and if something
    still fails, please upload a complete test case.
    
    I used the current 3.3 branch compiler.

>Description:
The inner class:
public static class State
{
   public final static State INITIAL = new State();
}
fails to compiler; I have to add a default constructor manually:
public static class State
{
   public State() {}
   public final static State INITIAL = new State();
}

>How-To-Repeat:
Create an inner class that invokes the default constructor
>Fix:
Institute the default constructors for inner classes
