A class can be defined as static only if it's an inner class. i.e. It's defined inside another class. A static nested class can refer to static methods and variables directly. Bosun

A BIG difference. You need to read "Getting in touch with your Inner Class" in the Campfire Stories area of this site. Not only does it explain inner classes well (both static and not static) but it is fun to read!!! http://javaranch.com/campfire/StoryInner.jsp
