Why do inner class cannot have static declaration except static nested class?..

Answer / vipul

Inner classes share a intimate relationship wth the outer
class which means to instantiate the inner class we need to
obtain the object of the outer class.in any case the inner
class contain any static member then we can access it only
with inner class name in that case we won't require its
object whch means we won't require the outer class
object.but java doesn't allow this if we want to access ny
if the inner class data member we must ahve outer class n
inner class object....queries r most welcomed..

Static have only one copy in memory. For class we have to
