Hello,

Sometimes when I compile a long .java file, I get two class files as a
result. For example, the file servlet.java compiles to servlet.class and
servlet$1.class. Does anyone know why the servlet$1.class file is created
and how to control it?

Thanks,

Brian

$1,2... are anonymous inner classes. I doubt you can control it besides
not using inner classes.

It looks like you have an anonymous inner class somewhere in the source file.

Grep for something like

Object someRandomName = new Object() { ...

The 'servlet$1.class' file is just the byte-code for the compiled inner
class.

It's not the length. It's that you have an anonymous inner class in
your code. If a single source file contains more than one anonymous
inner classes, you'll get Foo$2.class, Foo$3.class, ... .

Yes, an inner class was there. Thanks.

it is typically an anonymous inner class. If you don't like them,
name your classes.
