Given 

  public class A { 
     public A() { 
        B b = new B();
        b.doWork();
     }

     public void doSomething() {
        System.out.println("something was done";
     }

     public class B {
       public B() {  }
       public void doWork() {
          // work is calling A's doSomething()
          A.this.doSomething(); 
       }
     }
  }
