static inner class constructor

[Gary Kevin]

  
class BigOuter{
static class Nest{void go(){System.out.println("hi");}}
}
 
class Broom{
public static void main(String[] args){
BigOuter.Nest n = new BigOuter.Nest();
n.go();
}
}

it compiles well,if i write a constructor for class BigOuter like this:

  
class BigOuter{
        BigOuter(String ss){}
static class Nest{void go(){System.out.println("hi");}}
}
 
class Broom{
public static void main(String[] args){
BigOuter.Nest n = new BigOuter.Nest();
n.go();
}
}

it still compiles well,I can't use the constructor like this:

BigOuter.Nest n = new BigOuter("ddfdf").Nest();  

why?

try to explore on static (which related to class not an object).
And remove static from inner class then check the code.
i am sure you will get difference and answer itself.
