This is the current specification of java.lang.Class.getEnclosingMethod():

     * If this <tt>Class</tt> object represents a local or anonymous
     * class within a method, returns a {@link
     * java.lang.reflect.Method Method} object representing the
     * immediately enclosing method of the underlying class. Returns
     * <tt>null</tt> otherwise.
     *
     * In particular, this method returns <tt>null</tt> if the underlying
     * class is a local or anonymous class immediately enclosed by a type
     * declaration, instance initializer or static initializer.
     *
     * @return the immediately enclosing method of the underlying class, if
     *     that class is a local or anonymous class; otherwise <tt>null</tt>.
     * @since 1.5
 
It is not clear what should happen if this class is a local or anonymous class defined within a constructor.  From the first paragraph one can assume that null will be returned, however, that second paragraph does not mention this case.

Currently, the method will throw InternalError("Enclosing method not found").
