1. it is not possible in the java Laungage.
Well this is false for a very simple reason. It is possible to declare a class inside an interface declaration.
2. The class is always public.
True, all interface members (fields, methods and classes) are public whether you declare them that way or not. If you omit the public keyword they are declared public anyway.
3. The class is always static.
Declaring a field member in a interface makes it public and static by default. It is the same thing with a class declaration. It is static by default. Something very logical, since an interface by itself cannot be instantiated it would not make sense to declare a non-static inner class.
4. the class methods cannot call the methods declared in the interface.
What would be the point, the interface must be implemented in order to invoke one of the methods. So this is ultimately true.
5. the class methods can call only the static methods declared in the interface.
It is false, you cannot you can invoke other methods declared in the same class or other objects instantiated or passed by parameters to this class.
