Answer / murali
No, Static variables can be declared as a class attributes,
for example,
public classA{
static String m2="xyz"; // this is correct form
public static void main(String args[]){
static String m1="abc"; // this gives an error
(illegal modifier for parameter;;....)
}
}

Answer / vijayakumar chinnasamy
No static variable cannot be declared within static/non-
static method.
only "final" and "default" allowed within in method for
variable declaration. i.e u cant use
private,protected,public,static within method .it display
the compile time error "Illegal modifier".

Answer / aravinda reddy
No we can't declare a static variable in a method or static
method, static variables are class level variables. Static
means one per class as per OO rules and method level
variables scope is with in the method. So if java allows
static variable inside a method, static concept is useless.

Answer / ali
No Static Variable cannot declare in method.
but the method present in class can access the static variable
of class.
Or the method which is trying to access the static variable of
class but method is not part of that class at that time declare method as static then it can access that static variable.
