My answer: False I think it is this: Non-static inner classes cannot have non-final static members. Amy I thinking about this correctly? Or can anyone say this in a less confusing manner? Thanks, Jason

Non-static inner classes cannot have non-final static members.
Inner classes cannot declare any static members unless they are compile-time constants and are primitives or Strings.

For simplicity your question can be modified as "inner classes cannot have static members" ? T/F (because inner classes means non-static nested classes) Inner classes are associated with the instance of the enclosing class. Hence, there cannot be static members in itself. However, as the sherrif said you can have compile time constants. --

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
