I would like to know that where in memory the static and non-static methods and other class members such as instance, static and non-static variable lies.
Could anybody let me know please.
Kind regards
Rashid Ali

They are placed in an area of the memory called the "Heap".

Variables are kept in stacks, an area separate from the heap. There is a separate stack for each method invoked for local variables. Constants are kept in a Constant pool which may be implemented in the heap (JVM dependant).
There is a method area on the heap that keeps both static and non-static methods. Objects (instances of classes) are kept on the heap.
