Is it good to make more variable static in java?

[Kishor Joshi]

Hi there

I have a question in mind that.We can declare any member of a class static or non-static.The Question is it good to make more member variables static or not?

This question is not correct. It is not about good or bad.
It is about do you need that or not? if not, then nothing good to create "more" static variables than you need.

When you think about static versus non-static, think of whether you need multiply copies of a member for each instance of a class. For instance, it you are using pi in a class, that would obviously be static (and final), because pi isn't going to vary from instance to instance (object to object). But if you have a Car class, using a static speed member would mean every Car instance would have the same speed! So it should be non-static.
