code:

        this.aMethod( new SomeClass() {
            public void someMethod() {
                //new definition
            }
        });


What would you call this (overriding a method when its being instantiated)?
I'm trying to found out more about it, but don't know the proper name for it. Google hasn't been too helpful.

Overriding using instance initialization. The search results aren't very helpful even with the right keywords.

I believe "inner class" would be what you're looking for, and it seems to be more helpful in terms of google results.

Wow, I was way off. Just wanted to add that they're anonymous classes, specifically.
