The logic to compute simple name (Class.getSimpleName()) for
inner/nested/local classes is tightly coupled with Java naming scheme
and sometimes fails for classes generated from non-Java code.
Meta-question: if this is non-Java code then what does/should
"simpleName" even mean? "Returns the simple name of the underlying class
as given in the source code." If there is no (java) source code does
this have any meaning? Should it return "" ?
Instead of parsing class name and try to extract simple name based on
JLS rules, the fix I propose is to use InnerClasses attribute from the
class file. Simple name is already recorded there.

JVMS-4.7.6: The InnerClasses Attribute
"inner_name_index: If C is anonymous (JLS §15.9.5), the value of the
inner_name_index item must be zero. Otherwise, the value of the
inner_name_index item must be a valid index into the constant_pool
table, and the entry at that index must be a CONSTANT_Utf8_info
structure (§4.4.7) that represents the original simple name of C, as
given in the source code from which this class file was compiled."
Since I consider backporting the fix into 8u60, I'd like to hear
opinions about backward compatibility of such change.
As an alternative solution, I can restore original logic and consult
InnerClasses attribute when class name parsing logic fails.
I think I'd prefer to see the VM call only used as a fallback if the
regular parsing fails. That would prevent any compatibility issues for
the 8u backport (ignoring tests that deliberately generate invalidly
named classes).
Thanks,

Thanks!
