VisualAge for Java 1.0 supports all of the Java 1.1 language features
except nested classes. In particular, neither inner classes nor anonymous
classes are supported. Importing Java source that uses nested classes will
result in a parse error. Importing .class files that use nested classes
will work correctly. However, the classes will not be easily accessible
from Java source, since the only way to refer to the nested class is by
its mangled name. Anonymous classes or inner classes will not be
distinguishable from regularly defined classes; they will be treated as
top-level classes with exotic names. Until support is provided, the best
way to work with Java 1.1 nested classes is to compile them with JDK and
import them as .class files.

I got to this by going to <http://www.software.ibm.com/ad/vajava/library/onlinehelp/ide/doc/index.htm>, then going to Search and entering "inner class", searching in all 4 categories. The above came from release notes.
