Inner objects can access fields of the outer object.
However, when an inner object tries to access the value of a field
of its outer object via reflection, Field.getInt( this$0 ) throws
an unjustified IllegalAccessException.

Access control should be identical regardless of the access method, i.e.
regardless of whether reflection is used or not.

1. Run the following source code and the run time engine throws an unjustified
IllegalAccessException.

2. import java.io.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class test {
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        test t = new test();
        t.newInner().accessFromInner();
    }
            
    private int i = 1;
    
    public inner newInner() { return new inner(); }
    
    class inner {
        public void accessFromInner() {
            try {
                i = 0;
                System.out.println( test.class.getDeclaredField("i").getInt(
this$0 ) );
            } catch( Exception e ) {
                System.out.println( e );
            }
        }
    }

}
