Doesn't java support overriding inner classes?

// BEGIN EXAMPLE
// class code ------------------------------------------

public class ClassA{
 LocalClass instance;

 // inner class
 private class LocalClass{
  public void doit(){
   System.out.println("Hello");
  }
 }

 ClassA(){
  instance = new LocalClass();
 }

 public void doit(){
  instance.doit();
 }
}

public class ClassB extends ClassA{
 LocalClass instance;

 // inner class
 private class LocalClass{
  public void doit(){
   System.out.println("Goodbye");
  }
 }
}

public class Main
{
 public static void main(String[] args){
  ClassA ca;
  ClassB cb;

  ca = new ClassA();
  cb = new ClassB();

  ca.doit();
  cb.doit();
 }
}

// output -------------------------------------

$ java Main
Hello
Hello

// END EXAMPLE

Me is confused!
