Effective Java ;-)

Because you can learn Java from the Sun/Oracle website tutorials. And
because it's the only one I still find useful of the many Java books I
have purchased.

Whatever do you, don't go for Head First Java, unless you are only a
hobbyist and are ready to throw the book out of sight after you read it.
It's full of slangy terms that barely help you learn Java and make sure
you professor laughs at you in your viva. Go for Core Java by Cay
Horstmann - it's among the most comprehensive books.

It's worth pointing out that this only applies to local and anonymous
classes, since for other inner classes there's no way that a local variable,
formal method parameter or exception handler parameter would even be visible
to them.

And the way they're "used" while not visible is ...?
