Error description

• An externaltype referencing an inner class the generated Java
  implements a '$' separator instead of the "." notation of prior
  7.5x RBD versions.
  
  As the inner classes are appended with the $ symbol these are in
  turn flagged as unresolvable errors unless you change it to "."
  notation ie:
  Example Java snippet:
  	bpc.esempi.InnerClassExample exampleJavaClass = new
  bpc.esempi.InnerClassExample();
  		// innerJavaClass Internal;
  		bpc.esempi.InnerClassExample$Internal innerJavaClass = null;
  		// innerJavaClass = exampleJavaClass.initInternalInstance();
  		innerJavaClass =
  ((bpc.esempi.InnerClassExample$Internal)exampleJavaClass.initInt
  ernalInstance());
  		// innerJavaClass.printPackageName();
  		innerJavaClass.printPackageName();
  
  flags as error:
  The nested type bpc.esempi.InnerClassExample$Internal cannot be
  referenced using its binary name
