Hi Dan,
I have one query with regards to the processing of the NestMembers
attribute. Originally when I wrote the draft I copied the InnerClasses
text and that included prohibiting duplicate entries in NestMembers. You
dropped that restriction from the spec (though I haven't yet removed it
from the VM). How does that interact with the Class.getNestMembers()
API? Should it return the raw NestMembers contents (which may include
duplicates - including additional references to "self") or should it
return the set of members (ie no duplicates, including self)?
Thanks,
David

I've uploaded what I believe could be a final spec for nestmates, here:

Since October, changes include:
- Tweaks to the explanatory material in 2.11.8 and 3.7
- Some restructuring of the new 5.4.4 text to be a little less disruptive and more clearly define
"same nest" and "nest host". There are some subtle behavioral differences
compared to the previous iteration when errors occur.
- Added an example to 5.4.5 to illustrate transitive overriding
