Unknown class file creation by Eclipse java

Question

Hi I am working on a java project. I am using eclipse as an IDE. I have a file FileProvider.java in the package com.ibm.wala.util.io. For this file Eclipse is making two class files FileProvider.class and FileProvider$EclipseUtil.class. Can someone tell me why Eclipse is creating second class file.

You have an inner class called EclipseUtil in your FileProvider class.

Because you defined an inner class called EclipseUtil in FileProvider.

As your FileProvider.java has declared EclipseUtil as inner class.
