Syntax for accessing method of enclosing class with same name as one of this's methods

[Luchador]

class A{
public void doSomething(){...}
class B{
public void doSomething(){...}
public void somethingElse(){
//how do I call A's do something here?
}
}
}

Thanks for the help

Not very good design to name your methods that way, but try
"A.doSomething()".

Why is this not good design? Actually the real problem is both the enclosing
class and inner class inherit from Component. I want to use one of its(Component's)
methods for the enclosing class. Your suggestion gives an error since the
method is not static.

Okay, so try A.this.doSomething().
