Re.

http://qdox.codehaus.org/apidocs/com/thoughtworks/qdox/model/JavaClass.html#getInnerClasses()

The method getInnerClasses() seems to actually be listing all nested classes, including static nested classes, not just inner classes. This is a common misuse of the term "inner class". For definitions see

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/classes.doc.html

and search for "nested" and "inner", specifically

"An inner class is a nested class that is not explicitly or implicitly declared static."

You might consider renaming the method to JavaClass.getNestedClasses() for this reason, unless you are really returning only inner classes.
