A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The javadoc for java.lang.Class.getSimpleName() states "Returns an empty string if the underlying class is anonymous."

However, if the class was compiled with a target of 1.4 or earlier, this is violated. Instead, it strips off the package name but leaves the rest of the class name.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile these two classes and run TestSimpleName

public class SimpleNameTest {
    static Object test = new Object() {
        public String toString() {
                return "test";
        }
    };
}

public class TestSimpleName {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("'" + SimpleNameTest.test.getClass().getSimpleName() + "'");
    }
}


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Running TestSimpleName should always print ''
ACTUAL -
If SimpleNameTest was compiled using javac 1.4, or compiled with Java SE 5 or Java SE 6 with a target of 1.4 or jsr14, then running TestSimpleName will print 'SimpleNameTest$1'

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
