I had done the similar experimentation as you did with similar results in
Nahorn and Graal.
Both did not work when I tried to use this. I was able to call the methods
externally
but not inside each other. But that outer variable work around gives the
desired
results and I will use it that way. Thanks.

Also, I had another question: is there any particular reason that compiling
and linking should
be two different commands. To me it appears to be another one of nar maven
quirks.
Compilers by default compile and link in a single step. It seems nar maven
overrides it due to
reason. Since, there is no configuration to suggest that this is desired I
am a bit confused.
Do we want to compile and link in different steps ?

Regards,
Kartik
