Hi, >From jep 360 Section 15.9.1 [ >http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gbierman/jep360/jep360-20200526/specs/sealed-classes-jls.html#jls-15.9.1] > second bullet, ie: “If the class instance creation expression is qualified, then: The Identifier in ClassOrInterfaceTypeToInstantiate must unambiguously denote an inner class that is accessible, non-final, non-sealed, not an enum type, and a member of the compile-time type of the Primary expression or the ExpressionName. Otherwise, a compile-time error occurs”,
I think we should add “or an interface that is non-sealed “ after enum type similar to the earlier bullet for completeness’ sake as illustrated in the code below public class X { public static void main(String[] args) { new A.IY() {}; // Error since IY is sealed } } class A { sealed interface I permits IY{} sealed interface IY extends I permits Z {} final class Z implements IY{} } Regards, Manoj
