Which of the two statements is true and why? Can somebody please explain 1. A nested class is any class that is declared within the body of another class or interface. 2. A nested class cannot be declared within the body of another class or interface.
nested classes are inner classes.... inner classes are declares within a class or an interface... you can declare inner classes inside methods as well...

Not quite. According to the JLS...
"A nested class is any class whose declaration occurs within the body of another class or interface. A top level class is a class that is not a nested class." (Ref JLS - 8.)
And...
"An inner class is a nested class that is not explicitly or implicitly declared static." (Ref JLS - 8.1.3.)
