static class

Can static methods have static local inner class?

[Madhav Lakkapragada]

I don't think so....gave me some errors when I tried
this code:

public class StaticInner {

public static void main (String a[]) {

StaticInner sIn = new StaticInner();
sIn.go();

// On the other hand......
System.out.println(" ");

}

public static void go() {
System.out.println ("Go of the Super Class");

// static class sInner 
                // Using the above line instead of the one below
                // gave me a syntx error.
                class sInner {
   public void sGo() {
   System.out.println("Static Inner class in" +
"a static method.");
   }
}
}
}

Again does it make any sence to have a static inner class
in a static method?
I am not sure.

yes.I also got an error. Is it that the if static is used inside a nonstatic or static method , then its treated as error
since static deals that it is not related with any instance
of class.

Within a method, (whether static or non-static), the only modifier allowed is final. Any other modifiers like static, coderanch, private, protected, etc will give compiler errors.

Junaid,
you forgot an abstract modifier.
