The IllegalAccessException is not being thrown because the inner class could
not be loaded.
The IllegalAccessException is being thrown because the outer class does not
have permission to create an instance of the inner class(because the inner
class has a private constructor).
You could change the inner class's constructor to protected, that way only
the outer class (and subclasses of the outer class?) may create an instance
of the inner class.
