    Description

      The current DefaultObjectSupplier implementation cannot instantiate static nested classes. The problem is that it assumes that if the class to instantiate has a declaring class, it is an inner class. However, according to the Java language specification, an inner class is a nested class, which is not declared in a static context. Thus, in case the nested class is declared static, it is not required to create the parent enclosing instance (and it is not even possible, because the inner class does not have an implicit constructor with a parent instance first parameter)

      See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/classes.html#8.1.3
