anonymous class

True or false.
An instance of anonymous inner class can only be created in it's outer class.
I think it's true. But somewhere I found, it's false. Please help.

Not quite.. An instatance of an inner class can be created in a method too, there is no restriction out there.

public class AnonymousInnerClassTest { 
public static void main(String []args){ 
final StringBuffer s=new StringBuffer(); 
new Thread(){      // anonymous class
public void run(){  
s.append("a"); 
System.out.println(s); 
} 
}.start();    // start the thread 
} 
}

Hope this answers the querry.
