    Have you tried test.abc.Base$ChildInner ?

    The inner class name is fully qualified by the outer class name, and the inner/outer distinction by the $ symbol.

    Note that this is how the compiler names and saves those inner classes when compiling. You’ll see them in your filesystem amongst your classes.
