I have the following nested class structure:

public class A {
    public A() {}

    public class B extends A{
        public B(){}
    }

    public class C extends B{
        public C(){}                  // <- error happens here
    }
}

It will compile in JB9 Enterprise, but will not compile in JB2005 
Enterprise.  I am using the same JDK for both JB9 & JB2005 (1.4.2).
In JB2005 I get the following error:
"A.java": cannot reference this before supertype constructor has been called 
at line 9, column 19

Is valid Java code/class structuring?
Why does JB compile it in one version and not the other?

Thanks in advance for any help!
