Local class declared in a static method

[Puja Sinha]

Hi,

the book says :

Inner class in a static method has no access to instance variables.

Then can we instantiate an inner class defined in a static context as inner class objects need to tied to an outer class object and there is no this in static context?

If we can instantiate such a class what would be it's use (it would be great if stated with an example).

Thanks in advance.
