"The Java Virtual Machine knows nothing about nested top-level classes and interfaces or the various types of inner classes. Therefore, the Java compiler must convert these new types into standard non-nested class files that the Java interpreter can understand. This is done through source code transformations that insert $ characters into nested class names. These source code transformations may also insert hidden fields, methods, and constructor arguments into the affected classes."
