What does the $1 in a class filename mean ?

Hi,

I am new to Java. I have created an applet called TicketbookEmailDecoder.class that works with both the appletviewer and via a htm page using:

</applet>

So far so good. Now, when I deploy the applet in another folder on my local machine I get

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TicketbookEmailDecoder$1

If I copy the file TicketbookEmailDecoder$1.class to the new folder the applet loads properly.

So, what is the $1 file and why do I need it ? I cant find any explanation of these files in my manual or on the web.

Thanks,

Murray

It's an anonymous inner class.You defined a class within a class, but didn't give it an explicit name.regards,Owen
