The answer to your question is yes.

Have you read Getting in Touch with your Inner Class yet?

Hi! I tried that link and may have found a mistake in to first part.
This part:
You can also instantiate both the outer class and inner class at the same time:
Inner i = new Outer().new Inner();

Shouldn't that be:
Outer.Inner g = new Outer().new Inner();
I did that and it worked for me. I'm just now learning about Inner Classes. I'm using the Thinking In Java book and I'm really having to struggle. So far, that link you gave makes the most sense. Thank you.

Hi! A static inner class is a top level class. You can instansiate this static inner class by using
Code:


<CODE>
public class test{
public static class test1{

public void test1Method(){
System.out.println( "Method in inner static class" );
}

}

public static void main( String args[] ){

test1 t = new test().new test1();
t.test1Method();
/**
* You can altso use test1 t = new test1() because the test1 class is static.
}
}
</code>
