You are creating a local variable inside method whose visiblity is limited inside the method itself.Change you code like this

public class example{
    [B]private boolean value;[/B]
    public static void method(){
        value=false;
    }
 
    public static void main(String Args[]){
        [B]System.out.println(value);[/B]
    }
}

To avoid confusing the beginner's even more, it's probably a good idea to try compiling your examples before you post them.
You can't access instance variables from static methods with creating an object.

Sorry Joanne, i just typed it here itself without looking onto that point.That s a good point.

the variable declaration must be

private static boolean value;

ya i will surely do this one.

Actually, I suspect what the original poster is wanting to be taught is the notion of a return value:

public class example{
    public static [B]boolean[/B] method(){
        return false;
    }
 
    public static void main(String Args[]){
        boolean value = method();
        System.out.println(value);
    }
}
