about Object declaration as static

[Anand Natraj]

Can we declare an object of class as Static.If it can be declared static what is it's use

[Rachel Swailes]

You will see that you cannot declare a static class.

[Jeffrey Hunter]

static void readMe() {...}  

The method readMe() belongs to the class, and not any particular instance of the class.

Realize, you can have nested member classes (classes declared in body of top-level class), which may be static. But this follows the same idea that, when dealing with classes, only members of the class can be declared static.

You can get a better grip on this idea by reading a definition of the static modifier here.
