Take these two mixed language class definitions:
class KotlinClass {
interface InnerInterface {
}
}
public class JavaClass implements KotlinClass.InnerInterface {
}
implements KotlinClass.InnerInterface will trigger this violation in IntelliJ:
Inner class ‘InnerInterface’ declared in class ‘KotlinClass’ but referenced via subclass ‘KotlinClass’
I understand the inspection. But if the inspection works correctly, then this must mean that there is a class KotlinClass which derives from KotlinClass. Which is weird.
Can anyone shed light on this? To reproduce the violation, enable ‘Inner class referenced via subclass’ inspection in IntelliJ.
