Creating Objects!

Hello all,
I have a question regarding object creation.
The code is as follows:
class SomeClass {
String newString = new String(); //fine!

//But if I write
String anotherString;
anotherString = new String(); //(1)
//compiler will complain
//but inside a constructor it's fine again
SomeClass() {
String works;
works = new String();
}
}
Why does the compiler complain at line (1)?

Two things:
1st thing:

Welcome to the JavaRanch! Please adjust your displayed name to match the JavaRanch Naming Policy. Particularly, it should be first name <space> last name.
You can change it here.
2nd thing;
You can declare and initialize a reference on a single line outside of a method.
But to initialize the reference on its own (without the declaration) -- the expression must be within a method (like a constructor).
Hope that helps, and again welcome to the JavaRanch!

Though if you will put that line within a variable intialiser block then it will compile.
i.e {anotherString = new String()l}
