Accessing super method from inner class?

Show all headers | View raw

I've got some code where I am wrapping all the calls to 
JTextArea.append() in EventQueue.invokeLater().  So I thought I would 
just extend JTextArea but what I thought was obvious isn't.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class KTextArea extends JTextArea {
     public KTextArea(String text) {
         super(text);
     }

     public void append(final String str) {
         EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 KTextArea.this.super.append(str);
             }
         });
     }
}


com\knutejohnson\cookbook\KTextArea.java:14: error: '(' expected
                 KTextArea.this.super.append(str);
                                     ^
1 error

but KTextArea.super.append(str); appears to work.  Why doesn't it 
require the 'this'?
