            @Override
            public Boolean isSatisfied() {
                return true;
            }
        });
    }

So it uses the new opcode with whatever is at #2 in the constant pool, this happens to be the anonymous class Example$1.

void example() throws java.lang.InterruptedException;
    descriptor: ()V 
    flags:
    Code:
      stack=3, locals=1, args_size=1

         3: dup
         4: aload_0
         5: invokespecial #3 // Method Example1$1."":(LExample1;)V
         8: invokestatic #4 // Method WaitFor.waitFor...
