Member Variables In Outer Class Scopes

Using a qualified this to reach an enclosing instance

Refer to member variables that enclose larger scopes by the class name to which they belong. For example, the following statement accesses the member variable of the class ShadowTest from the method methodInFirstLevel:

System.out.println("ShadowTest.this.x = " + ShadowTest.this.x);

Just learned about this. I guess it doesn’t come up often.
